A really lovely educational children's book. The book sets off with Dominic and his grandma looking out the window and noticing a couple of birds. She talks about the birds and explains lots of things to Dominic about the birds, how they are, how they are born, and how they feed. Out of the Beaks of Birds: Our Crazy, Pesky... Verbs by Cinda Klickna is an interesting way to engage children to learn as it uses verbs in a correct way and how they should be pronounced. The book also helps adults know how to pronounce their verbs and teaches the children proper ways to pronounce them as well. 

This is a really nice book that is fun and also educative. It teaches children the proper use of verbs and also the proper way to use present tense, past tense, and past participle. The book also contains beautiful illustrations to keep the kids glued to the book. Many times kids lose interest in books, but I highly doubt if they will in this particular book as it contains beautiful drawings and also a lovely story. This book can serve as a bedtime story for children as it is well structured and fun to read; it doesn't overcomplicate things in terms of explaining, which I've found to be tedious while reading other books. It was kept simple by the author, straightforward and direct for easy consumption. I did appreciate how birds were carefully and properly described, as it gives a vivid image to kids of what the birds look like. The children will learn a lot in this book as it talks about five different birds: Bluejay, Cardinal, Indigo Bunting, Goldfinch, and Oriole. I know I did learn a few things about them myself. 

I rate this book five out of five stars. I can't think of any reasons to deduct any points. It was well structured, properly edited, and thoroughly edited, as I couldn't find any errors. It was also kept simple for the children so as to not lose their attention. I recommend this book to parents and teachers who want to teach their children or students about the proper use of verbs and also the proper use of present tense, past tense, and past participle. Adults too can learn a few things also.

A book explaining grammar concepts in a simple fashion seems like a valuable add to a book collection for readers of any age. Thank you for the review @Shiru Elizabeth.
