Count backward from ten as you search for hidden animals in this seek-and-find picture book from Christie Matheson, the acclaimed and bestselling author of Tap the Magic Tree. Delicate artwork, a focus on birds and counting, and an engaging treasure hunt will entice fans of Bill Martin’s Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Steve Light’s Have You Seen My Dragon?

There are treasures hiding in the trees! Can you find them? One, two, three little birds, on up to ten (plus other woodland creatures) are just waiting to be discovered. From the author of the acclaimed and bestselling Tap the Magic Tree, this stunning picture book merges basic concepts of counting with elements of a treasure hunt. With different species of birds and other forest animals hiding in the trees and bushes, there is something new to discover on every page. Patience is rewarded as readers learn to count backward from ten, uncover new birds, and learn about the diverse ecosystem of the forest.

Christie Matheson is a master at creating simple picture books that encourage children to interact with the natural world. Beautiful watercolor and collage art, a playful counting text, and a search-and-find theme will have children and parents returning to Bird Watch again and again.
