A Murmuration of Starlings: The Collective Nouns of Animals and Birds

Not the best available book that covers the fascinating use of collective nouns . It never quite manages to lift itself above being an average sort of informative book and the illustrations are designed to appeal more to children than serious minded adults .

Thought it would contain much more information than it does.

Highly informative, very well presented and a great read!

Bought this for my wife's Xmas present, well one of her many presents not daring to buy her but a single present.It's a beautifully illustrated book but I have no confidence at all on how factually accurate it is having read the rather stunning statement on page 5 that snakes are warm-blooded animals. Duh?

beautiful book with an attractive illustration and detailed description of each, enjoyable to browse.

i was long looking for a book like this

This was bought as part of a birthday gift - I think she liked it.

As others have said , beautifully illustrated in a children's fairy tale style . The text however is fascinating and well researched on an adult level.
