Recently I stood on a viewing platform at the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs as a very helpful volunteer guided my sight line to one of the puffins who'd arrived on the cliffs in the last few days. Finally, I found one, after visually sorting through all the other birds on the precipitous cliff face. It was great fun and very rewarding. The third double-page spread in wild-life author and artist Matt Sewell's first book for children, ''The Big Bird Spot'', shows some cliffs very like those at Bempton, but this time you're going to be looking for twenty three Little Auks, in amongst the guillemots, puffins, herring gulls and razorbills. Oh, and you're looking for a pair of binoculars too: our bird watcher is very careless, because you're going to have to find them in every picture.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
Another of Matt's books [[Penguins and Other Sea Birds by Matt Sewell|Penguins and Other Sea Birds]] was written for the adult market but will actually appeal to children who enjoy ''The Big Bird Spot''. If your child is interested in birdsong we can recommend [[The Little Book of Woodland Bird Songs by Andrea Pinnington and Caz Buckingham|The Little Book of Woodland Bird Songs]] and [[The Little Book of Garden Bird Song by Andrea Pinnington and Caz Buckingham|The Little Book of Garden Bird Song]]. If you're looking for another search book, why not make it fiendishly difficult with [[Where's Wally: The Colouring Book by Martin Handford]]? We can also recommend [[My Book of Birds by Geraldo Valerio]].
