A Zoo Just for You!: The Aviary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781524541187)

"A gaggle of geese" and "a pride of lions" are examples of collective nouns, names we assign to groups or collections of animals or people. Often a collective noun describes either 1) a behavior specifi c to that group, or 2) an appearance peculiar only to that group. This first-of-a-series book will take the children to the zoo, specifically the aviary or bird house. It takes children on a learning journey to discover group names of birds; it also teaches five very interesting fun facts about each bird. In the end, the children are asked what they would name their own group - a tool that reveals what is important to them and their own ideas of self-image. " A Zoo Just for You" plays with descriptive words as well as reveals fun facts about birds; it has information for children to share with, and impress, others.
