Enchanted Nature: Garden Birds is an attractive and engaging series of six decodable nonfiction books designed to support early reading and phonics learning. Each book focuses on a different British bird: chaffinch, dunnock, magpie, robin, song thrush and starling. Taking the reader through the year, each month is highlighted with accessible font and spacing to encourage independence.
Warm, colourful illustrations depict these beautiful birds in their natural environments. The content is rich and informative, not shying away from interesting facts despite the early reader format. These books respect children’s desire for knowledge, helping them become experts on each bird species with details including diet, habitat, nesting and reproduction, life cycle, adaptations, feather markings and predators.
The Enchanted Nature: Garden Birds series would be a valuable addition to EYFS and KS1 guided reading sessions or class shared reading to accompany a science topic on British animals or the local environment. Overflowing with information, they will inspire a whole host of future birdwatchers.
