As she grew up, she tagged along with her brother Hart, a scientist. Florence would watch him collect specimens for study; she didn&#8217;t love this part because it involved preserving animals in order to study them in a lab setting. Florence much preferred studying them in their natural habitats, alive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Florence grew up, at the university, one of her friends commented on the number of birds she&#8217;d seen on a lady&#8217;s hat. At the time, high fashion favored hats with dead birds as ornamentation! This was horrific to Florence! She set out to change people&#8217;s opinions. But how? By studying the birds alive, in their natural habitat, as she&#8217;d been doing all along. In the process, Florence not only helped start the hobby of bird-watching, her efforts also helped curtail the fashion industry&#8217;s use of dead birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back matter includes more information on Florence&#8217;s life, tips on how to become a bird-watcher, and a fun hide-and-seek game to see if young readers can spot Florence&#8217;s favorite birds within the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spend a lot of time reading picture books. And <em>Birdlore<\/em> has some standout features that set it above many of its companions. In terms of book design, it&#8217;s fun to see a different case wrap illustration (cover) than the dust jacket (the sleeve that comes off). The case wrap isn&#8217;t as eye-catching in terms of hooking a reader, but it&#8217;s very cool and works with the book&#8217;s subject. But what really impressed me were the bird illustrations. The birds don&#8217;t look like those in a bird guide as far as the level of detail, but <em>they are all recognizable as distinct bird species<\/em>. It would be easy to draw a generic &#8220;woodpecker&#8221; or &#8220;sparrow&#8221; for a book like this, but Holzworth&#8217;s illustrations are quite specific to each species. The woodpecker is clearly a redheaded woodpecker,* and the waxwing even has the red dot of wax on its wing. (*not all woodpeckers with red heads are the actual &#8220;redheaded woodpecker.&#8221;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> <em>Birdlore<\/em> is perfect for young birders, and it would make an excellent picture book biography for a study of scientists or naturalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Resource<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2019\/04\/birds-of-a-feather-a-book-list-for-bird-lovers\/\">Bird Books for Kids<\/a><\/strong> (a booklist)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book Review:<\/strong> <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2013\/07\/turn-off-the-tv-and-go-outside\/\">Look Up!
