Wednesday Book Club


What if we all try to share a book we love on Wednesday?
Or maybe just when we have one to share - no expectations for participation every Wednesday?

I will begin with this one:
Bird, Egg, Feather, Nest by MaryJo Koch.
I have had this book for about ten years or so. I used it with my students in my classroom at one time. Since then it has been a fixture in my home. I bring it out every spring, and browse through it.
The book is one of a series of books the author has written, in similar formats.
Some of the titles are:
  • Dragonfly, Beetle, Butterfly, Bee
  • Seed, Leaf, Flower, Fruit
  • Pond, Lake, River, Sea
When I moved to England, I shipped some f my favourite books, surface mail, to save on costs.
This was one f them.
It took about three months to arrive, along with my cookbooks and some novels, and a few 'coffee table' books, all culled from my huge collection, now scattered to lucky recipients.
The book is filled with detailed water colours of birds, eggs, nests, habitats, et all.


The text has all been hand written.
It is fabulous!
There are some for sale on ebay, Amazon, and half.com.
I know you will find this book both beautiful and informative.
