Birds Everywhere
by Britta Teckentrup (Goodreads Author)
4 out of 5 stars
This book talks about different types of birds around the world and the habitats they live in. We get to learn about how the birds migrate, how they behave when attracting a mate, and what type of nests they build.
It really gets on my nerves when science books talk about scientific theories as if they were fact, and they don’t tell the reader that it’s just a theory. It’s so unethical, and it’s misleading. It makes me not trust anything else they say, because who knows what else they could be lying to the reader about. If you don’t have the evidence to prove something, then you shouldn’t be pretending like it’s a fact. That’s dishonest. It would be so easy to clear up these misunderstandings if they would just admit that it’s a theory!
