Overview
It’s never too early to expose your children to the many wonders of nature. Our new board book series, EARLY BIRDS™, begins with MY COLORS and MY NUMBERS, two core concepts. MY COLORS pairs each of ten colors with a beautiful bird and a second element found in nature for reinforcement. MY NUMBERS does the same, but with additional birds doing the things they do in their natural habitats.
Special features that differentiate EARLY BIRDS from other board book series include:
- Repetitive triplets and word tools on each spread to describe what each bird does or sounds like, enhancing learning.
- Back matter with streaming HD bird sounds gives parents and children a real multimedia experience using BIRD QR, our free downloadable app.
- Special page tabs for little hands.

Reviews
“Tabbed pages open to spreads, each featuring a bird that – except for the flamingos – you could find here. Simple text provides an information tidbit plus a noise the birds make…At the back of the book there are QR codes for each bird, so you can listen to their songs and calls. Other books on the “Early Bird” series focus on colors and opposites.” — Ithaca Child
