We enjoyed the story of Peter Rabbit and his adventures in the Old Orchard as various bird friends return from their winter migration. This book takes the reader through the spring and summer and each chapter introduces us to one or two birds that live in yard or forest setting. Some pictures, but not for all birds. Good intoduction to birding.
