Behold The Fowls of the Air: Bird stories, Science lessons, and Bible applications

Summary

What can birds teach us about growing, finding food, making homes, and God? In Behold The Fowls of the Air, children meet birds from chickadees and gulls to larks, swallows, robins, sparrows, eagles, and ravens. These stories by Edith M. Patch, Lenore Elizabeth Mulets, and Mary Graham Bonner combine lively bird adventures with observations about the natural world and God’s care for his creatures. This collection brings classic bird stories, nature learning, poetry, and Scripture together for young listeners and families and school children. The collection also includes Bert Nichols Stauff’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Hark, hark, the lark,” and Cecil Frances Alexander’s “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” Story-based lessons invite children to think about what they heard, while gentle Bible applications include Matthew 6:26 from the World English Bible.
