Michael Frith ~ Random House, 1971
Granted, the last thing my son needs is another animal encyclopedia, but you all know I'm a sucker for Michael Firth (of Muppet and Animals Do the Strangest Things fame.) Plus, there's really no such thing as too many animal guides in our house. Truly "246 animals every beginner should meet", the illustrations are so fun and vibrant, I look at this book sometimes when my son is not around. And guess what? There are tons of BIRDS! (Surprise, surprise.)


all sizes, all shapes...
Some are pretty
Some are not...
Some are plain...
and some are frilly
Some of us look sort of silly
(Sigh. My personal apologies to the gavial and the star-nosed mole.)

What a great find!
A used bookstore guy I met once uses Zippo lighter fluid to get off the gunk...
Goof Off or Goo Gone (available at any hardware store) also do the trick. Thanks for another great feature.
