C is for Cuckoo
"Yellow-billed Cuckoos don't live in clocks and we don't eat Cocoa Puffs."
B is for Bufflehead by Steve Hutchcraft













The Author
Several years ago, Steve Hutchcraft left a successful business career to pursue his love for nature photography. As a photographer, Steve has built a portfolio of award-winning images, including his photograph of courting White-tailed Tropic birds that won the prestigious North American Nature Photography Association's Showcase Award in 2006.

As a father, he has looked for ways to share his love of nature, and especially birds, with his young daughter. B is for Bufflehead is part of his ongoing effort to do just that. By sharing it with others, he hopes it will interest, entertain, and inspire many other future nature lovers.

About
B is for Bufflehead is more than an ABC book. Its eye-catching and humorous photographs introduce over 60 unique North American bird species and cover the alphabet from A to Z. The menagerie of showcased birds has a mix of fun names, fascinating personalities, and unique behaviors that will engage little ones without intimidating them.

The book’s layout is designed to be easily adapted to each child’s educational level. The photos, letters, and names are perfect for the earliest learners. The accompanying text is intended to intrigue young children with a few fun facts about each bird. For older kids (and adults), there is a section that offers more detailed information on each species, including range, habitat, feeding preferences, and even more fun facts. For fun, there’s a section of baby birds and interesting images for a who’s who challenge.

Review
Many of you are true nature lovers just like me, we love to be in nature, enjoy its beauty, and photograph its wonders. Have you every thought about, or tried, passing this passion along to your children or grandchildren?

We know we need to start early and make it fun. But where to begin? Why not learn about birds and the ABC's all at the same time.

The photographs in this book are beautiful and detailed. The writing is clear and interesting enough to keep even a young child entertained. Older children will enjoy reading about the different birds.

The book is recommend for ages 9 - 12 but you know what? I would give this book to a much younger child and read it to them. Why? Because as I read through the pages I realized I was learning too! And enjoying it!

B is for Bufflehead is a great starting point for instilling a love of nature in your children. I am definitely recommending this book to everyone.
