Critics Review
“The best birding comedy here comes courtesy of the snowy owl, which reveals only its tail and talons to readers until appearing in full view in the book’s back matter, which discusses keeping a birding journal and offers facts about snowy owls.”–Publishers Weekly
“Even city kids will appreciate this hot-off-the-presses whimsical story of an elderly man and his young neighbor who join forces to find an elusive snowy owl that lives in their neighborhood.”–Tiny Beans
“The Birders is very humorous and engages the reader in the first few pages. I was constantly interested in what was going to happen next. The illustrations are fun, interesting, well done, and comical. This book is a great way to create in children a desire to observe nature.”–Kiss the Book
