We are reading an important book today and it is called Sparrows. Animal lover Kees Post has partnered with sparrows expert Dr. Kees Heij and the have written a wonderful book about the sparrow. The book has marvelous illustrations by Irene Goede, very natural, sweet and moving.
The book describes the life of the common house sparrow, from egg to sparrow parent. Snazzie's little nature lovers now know a lot more about the sparrow, we spot them sometimes, when we go outside. :)) This gorgeous book is already reread again, nice that Sparrows continues to fascinate.
In the last 20 years the number of house sparrows is seriously reduced in The Netherlands and that reduction still continues. Fortunately the Dutch Association of the Protection of Birds has comitted to protecting the house sparrow. It would be a pity if the sparrow would disappear from the Netherlands. See what delightful little creatures they are in the movie.
3 radiant stars for Sparrows, from all the snazzie readers and litlle listeners!
