Review by Horn Book Review

Five chapters help young readers become observant bird watchers. After covering the basics (feathers, beaks, eggs, flight), subsequent chapters highlight specific species to discuss movement, exceptional behavior, nesting behavior, and food. Spectacular color photos showcase various birds at rest and in flight. Fact boxes offer overviews and context questions, while various games provide additional engagement. Back matter includes a habitat map and suggested activities. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2017. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
