			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bookgateway.com/wp-content/new_folder/2010/12/B.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-560" title="B" src="http://bookgateway.com/wp-content/new_folder/2010/12/B-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>I read through B is for Bufflehead with my four year old son and was surprised to find that it kept his attention throughout. I expected him to get antsy with only pictures of birds and too many words for him to follow along with me. That is the beauty of this book: the photos are amazing. The birds in this book are so exotic that you can&#8217;t help but to stare in wonder and then turn the page in anticipation.</p>
<p>However, it seems to me that the publisher let this author down. The pages look like they were put together with graphics from the early 2000&#8242;s; it looks cheap. I know that this is independent, but the package disappoints.</p>
<p>Also, once we&#8217;d seen the cool bird pictures, there just wasn&#8217;t much incentive to go read the book again. Like curiosities in a circus: one time was enough.</p>
<p>I liked the book and I want to encourage it&#8217;s purchase if only to support work like this, but the package was amateur, and the re-read value was low.</p>
