Birding with Grandma

Alaska's Coolest Birds

K-Gr 6-Featuring exquisite, primarily live-action footage of over 70 different birds found across Alaska, the film is narrated by six-year-old Zachary.
Review: "At first I thought having a narration by a small child would be annoying, but it actually helps recapture the joy one gets in seeing all these very neat birds. It also has some of the best photos I've seen, and as far as I know, there is no video like this specifically aimed at adults."
