Why a book about the blackbird? We encounter blackbirds all year round and throughout the day: When we get up early in the morning, they are already energetically singing their melodic songs, and when we go to bed in the evening, they are still singing or chattering outside the window. In the garden, they pull worms from the damp earth in spring, nibble on berries from the bushes in late summer, and in winter, they fluff up under the bird feeder, pecking at apples and oats. How the black songbirds build their nests, how they brood and raise their young, what the yellow-orange beak is used for... you can discover all this and much more in the blackbird book. And at the end, games, songs, craft tips, and much more await you! The New Brehm Library - for children aged 5 to 7 years - offers age-appropriate information and trains the eye to see connections in ecosystems.
