Andrew Zuckerman Has Fans Of All Ages

Art & Photography + Kids / October 07, 2009
I am a huge fan of Andrew Zuckerman. I think his photography is breathtaking, cutting edge and unlike anything else out there. I have shared the beautiful animal photos in CREATURE ABC with my 13 month old daughter and I can’t wait until she is old enough to play with the CREATURE FLOOR PUZZLES . I had never considered sharing his coffee table books with her. Well Strollerderby did!
Strollerderby (The Mother Of All Parenting Blogs) recently named BIRD by Andrew Zuckerman as their Book Of The Week.
She said:
First I should point out that this ain’t no board book. For that matter, you shouldn’t let your kids grimy hands anywhere near it. But they can look with just their eyes, just make sure not to let them get their marks on the pristine white pages of this magnificent tome to birds in the aptly named book Bird.
I loved how she described her daughter’s reaction to the book:
My 3 ¾ (FYI - that ¾ is very important) and I looked at each and every page and she was completely entranced by the images of her new feathered friends. She blurted out comments about the birds such as “He’s fancy!”, “His beak looks like a spoon”, “She’s doing ballet class”, and “He’s conducting”. Interesting observations from a child’s perspective. Then she proceeded to act out what the birds were doing in each photo, complete with sound effects. Her Southern Ground Hornbill impression was impassioned and just a little scary.
For the full review please visit the Strollerderby Blog. Strollerderby’s review made me reconsider the materials that I will share with my daughter in the future and I thank her for that. There is a whole world of books that we can share with our children in addition to what is in the children’s department.
One series that my daughter loves (that would go very nicely with BIRD) are the BIRD SONG BOOKS. My daughter loves to push the buttons on the BIRD SONGS WALL CALENDARS and hear the calls that each bird makes. The 2010 BIRD SONG WALL CALENDAR would make a great addition to any toddler’s (or grownup’s) wall.
What grownup books do your little ones love?
Lastly, in case you missed it here are the videos of the making of BIRD.
