The world is full of birds. Korea is home to many birds — if you count the migratory birds that pass through with the seasons, there are more than 450 species living here. Even just around the yards of apartment buildings in big cities, you can spot dozens of different species: sparrows, magpies, great tits, brown-eared bulbuls, oriental turtle doves, jays, common kestrels, and more. Have you ever seen small black-feathered birds fluttering about? Did they have a black necktie-like marking on their chest? If so, that's a great tit — you'll often spot them on the bare branches of winter trees. Have you seen a grayish bird flying to a persimmon tree every morning to find ripe red persimmons? Smaller than a magpie, with a long tail? That's probably a brown-eared bulbul. If it calls out 'bbi-ik bbi-ik,' you can be sure of it. Korean Birds Every Child Should Know These birds are familiar, friendly faces you can easily spot even in the flowerbeds around apartment complexes. The presence of birds tells us that a region's ecosystem hasn't been too badly damaged. If children grow up knowing birds and feeling close to them, their lives will be so much richer. Korea's First Children's Bird Encyclopedia Whether it's a beak, a leg, a wing, or anything else, every part of a bird is worth observing closely. That's why bird watching calls for a finely detailed encyclopedia that captures every feature with care. This book is filled with delicate illustrations drawn by an artist who spent a long time observing birds in the wild. Rich Ecological Information About Birds This book uses more than 100 vivid illustrations to show the unique characteristics of each bird. Children can learn how a bird's body is structured, how birds build their nests, and what kind of eggs each species lays. Even children encountering birds for the first time, or those who can't read yet, will enjoy this book just like a picture book. 'Birds I Love' was created for young children, but it was carefully researched and verified for accuracy. The detailed illustrations were drawn by the artist based on extensive personal observation. Though it looks like a picture book, it contains rich, in-depth information that adult bird lovers will enjoy as well.
