Weet u dat spreeuwen bijna alles eten wat u in uw tuin zet? En weet u dat spreeuwen bekend staan als zeer luidruchtig en agressief? Het is soms moeilijk om onze kinderen de schoonheid van de natuur te laten begrijpen, om hen de kleine dingen te laten waarderen, de schoonheid van een bloem, de frisheid van de lucht, de geur van gras. Vaak hebben we niet het geluk in contact te staan met de natuur, ver van een weide, opgesloten in de steden. Toch weten we zo vaak, terwijl we vanaf ons balkon in een mooi landhuis naar buiten kijken, de schoonheid van de schepping wel te observeren, maar niet te waarderen. Ken de details en gewoonten van een even gewone als verrassende spreeuw, via een eenvoudige weg, die de belangstelling en nieuwsgierigheid van uw kind aanwakkert. Dat is het doel van dit boek.Maar pas op, bereid je voor op de uitdaging! Je zult de vragen die je kind je zal stellen moeten kunnen beantwoorden door te pronken met zijn diepgaande kennis in de microwereld van de Spreeuw: -Mam, weet jij hoeveel eieren een spreeuw legt voor zijn nest? Dat weet ik!-Weet je hoe een grote troep spreeuwen heet? Dat weet ik!-Opa, weet je welke vorm de vleugels van een spreeuw hebben? Ja.-Oma, weet je welke kleur spreeuwenveren hebben? Dat weet ik.-Sarah, je bent mijn grote zus, en je hebt veel gestudeerd, maar ik wed dat je niet weet hoe lang spreeuwen zijn! Dat weet ik wel. Je hebt verder niets nodig; één klik op "Koop nu" en je laat je kind een magisch nieuw avontuur beleven met zijn nieuwe vriendje Spreeuw en de magische natuurlijke wereld van de vogels.
