Description
Brightly colored, richly textured illustrations and an energetic rhyming text introduce young readers to birds and their unique qualities. Birds come in all sorts of interesting shapes, sizes, and colors--and many of them can do amazing things as well. From the Blue-footed Booby to the Red-billed Oxpecker, the breadth of bird life depicted in this stunning book will captivate young ornithologists. Susan Stockdale's bold colors and crisp, clean lines capture the reader's attention and introduce us to a remarkable world filled with distinctive creatures. An afterword identifies each animal and tells a little bit about it and where it lives.
