SuitabookLottie Loves Nature: Bird Alert
Jane Clarke
- Reading
- Read the rescue section together if the cat-and-hatchling situation may feel tense. Afterwards, use the bird facts and activities to distinguish observing wildlife, feeding birds and intervening with a young bird.
- Themes
- Care for wild birds: Lottie counts birds in her garden, notices nesting sparrows and attempts to rescue a hatchling from danger. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Learning through nature: The book includes information about birds and migration, and instructions for making fat cakes and a bird bath. Nature knowledge is presented as part of the book’s stated content alongside the fictional story.
- Worth knowing
- The fallen hatchling and the prowling cat create a bounded moment of danger for birds.
