We were riding home the other day and Tigger spotted a flock of geese flying south for the winter. She shouted “V formation, Mom! V formation!” She was super excited to see that birds actually make the V formation when they fly together.

Since that was such a big hit, I thought we’d look up some great children’s books about birds to share with our kids over the next few weeks. And today I’m sharing the same list with you all.

These are great for learning about birds during fall when birds are migrating to warmer weather or during spring when they’re returning home and making nests!

Read on to make up your own booklist featuring these wonderful bird books for kids. And, for more animal learning fun, don’t miss our printable Nocturnal and Diurnal Animal Sorting Activity!
