Victoria My daughter is four. Any field guide interests her and she loves the Readers Digest Complete Book of Aust. birds. She, however, always asks first if she can have a "read". She goes through page by page taking great pleasure in seeing birds that we have encountered together (and always seems to remember the finest details of the occasion - where, who else was there, other things seen). She remembers the names of many and those she can't will often if given the first sound of the name. At this age, the actual book isn't important, it's the pleasure they get out of it. The rest, if they are inclined, will come later. David Geering |
