Published: June 13,
2023 by Blue Balloon Books
Taken from Goodreads: What’s that up there in that tree? It’s Stella the Mama Osprey! You may be familiar with bluebirds, robins, and finches, but how much do you know about ospreys? Stella and her mate, Henry, are here to teach you about these stunning and capable birds! From diet and appearance to habits and behavior, there’s a lot to discover about these incredible birds. With a bird’s eye view, you can join Stella and Henry on a leisurely flight over the creek and around the yard to meet other animal friends—groundhog, owl, deer, and squirrels. Then, watch in wonder as Stella and Henry’s babies hatch, creating a loving family of four. Stella the Mama Osprey is a must-read for any child. Filled with pleasing rhymes, whimsical illustrations, and fun facts about ospreys, this story is both entertaining and educational. Whether child or adult, be prepared to learn something new as you read this charming book!
My
Thoughts: This children’s
book is perfect for the outdoor curious child.
It shows how the Osprey nest, eat, and take care of their young but it
also gives cute narrative about other animals found in the neighborhood. Stella the Mama Osprey tells a story about
animals that will be familiar to most children since they can be found in their
backyards.
The illustrations were fun.
There were a couple that I had wished had more color since all the
shades of brown blended too much together that I was not always quick to see
what the author wanted me to see. The
words were just enough for a young child to not get bored and I enjoyed the
rhyming.
Thank you Blue Balloon for a copy of the book in exchange
for my honest review.
