Review
This outstanding book features basic information about birds such as feathers, flying, colors, beaks senses and feet. Popping close up photographs reach out to young readers as does the large font. The illustrations of the birds are so enticing students will keep turning pages. The most outstanding informational page takes the reader through the step by step process of how birds take off, fly and land. The coordinating pictures are large and detailed, really giving the reader an understanding of how wing dynamics work. Large index and glossary at back of book set in brilliant tropical colors will continue to lure readers into a section of the book often ignored. Special code is given for an online digital book about birds.
Overall Book Score: excellent
