Description

Baby’s First Book of Birds and Colors is a board book – safe for young hands! Teach babies that the birds and plants around them have names and colors.

This book has charming illustrations and minimal text, eight spreads present two birds of the same color against a backdrop of matching flowers, fruits, or foliage. From the eastern bluebird and blue jay to the scarlet tanager and northern cardinal, the birds and their habitats have been carefully researched for accuracy.

The color word appears large and bold, and each bird is labeled by name.

About this CT native author, Phyllis Limbacher:

Phyllis exhibited artistic talent at the age of two and a half when she presented her mother with a drawing of a butterfly, followed by a man selling peanuts at a peanut stand. She was anxious to follow her older brother and sister to school in Stratford, Connecticut, where she was soon writing poems and stories to illustrate and give to family and friends.

As a child she was always curious about nature and enjoyed exploring in the woods behind her home. The Limbacher house was always filled with pets and an occasional wild, orphaned animal.
Phyllis was a voracious reader and loved her town library where she selected stacks of books for summer reading. She would often climb onto a branch of an old chestnut tree outside the library to read a book and study the detailed art of one her favorite illustrators such as Arthur Rackham and Beatrix Potter.
