Fairy Tales: $ Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
'Mrs. Mallard was sure that the pond in the Boston Public Gardens would be a perfect place for her and her eight ducklings to live.

$ Owl Moon by Jane Yolen

$ The Silver Swan by Michael Morpugo
"A boy on an isolated farm observes a lovely swan as she arrives on a moonlit lake. Day by day, the boy watches as she makes her home on the lake, finds a mate, builds a nest, and hatches five fluffy cygnets. When a starving fox threatens the swan and her brood, the boy desperately tries to protect his friend, but eventually he must comes to terms with the harsh--and, ultimately, the redemptive--aspects of nature. " Beautiful illustrations, but may be too sad for some children. True to life.
$ Tico and the Golden Wings by Leo Lionni
A little bird born without wings is one day granted his wish. But the wings are made of gold and his friends turn against him.

♦ All About Birds by Robert S. Lemmons
All About Series
$ Bird Songs
I picked this book up at Costco a couple of years ago and LOVE it. It’s been durable, even though we’ve had to replace the batteries. My little granddaughters love the beautiful colorful pictures of birds and sitting and listening to their songs. We’ve often identified birds in the yard by matching them to their songs. It looks like it’s out of print, but I’ve seen some at library used book sales. There are some used copies on Amazon and I noticed there’s a kindle version. I wonder if that would work?
