The book arrived in good condition, however I thought it would be a larger book.

Common Birds and Their Songs (Book and Audio CD)I got this book for our two year old grandson who spends time looking at Birds and the Peterson Field Guide with his grandmother. The pictures are wonderfull and he loves the book; the songs are less interesting just now. He calls it the Two Owls Book. Our only disappointment is that the "Thrasher" he loves was omitted.

I am a budding bird-watching enthusiast and this is the first book I have purchased. I love it! I do wish it covered more birds, but the descriptions of the birds it does include are very informative. The photographs are some of the best I've seen!!! The CD is also great for beginners because you never really realize how many of those calls are familiar to you until you hear them with a name. I know now there are Baltimore Orioles near my house (though I've never seen them) because I hear that very distinct call all the time! Now I've put out special food for them and I'll just have to wait and see!!! I recommend this book and CD to all - especially beginners like myself!!!

As a new initiate into the world of birding, I found this book and audio cd to be very helpful in identifying bird songs. A numbered list of cd tracks is provided in the book, enabling the listener to skip to the songs they want to hear on the cd. The book is informative and includes beautiful photographs of each species. I love it and highly recommend it.
Photos, Info and song.... March 19, 2006

I am new to serious birdwatching, but already own half a dozen books on North American birds. I find this book and companion CD especially nice because of it's portability and ease of use. The photographs are clear, and the information concise. The songs of the birds are likewise, and if you have a cat, you will amuse them along with yourself as you listen...
