A frivolous note - books for children

["Paul Doyle" <>]

I thought the best thing about 'The Birdwatchers' (the ordinal book that 
someone spoke of) was that the representations of the birds were all accurate 
(in a children's watercolour sort of way). I was able to identify nearly every 
bird depicted: not that that's important, but it gave the whole thing a sort of 
verisimilitude that impressed on me that the artist knew something about birds.
It is a lovely book, but I probably enjoyed it more than my kids, except for 
the twist in he tail.

Paul.
