A simple first look at birds that spend most of their lives on or near
the ocean.
In this addition to the acclaimed About... series, award-winning
author and educator Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand
language to teach children what seabirds are, where they live, what they
eat, and how they move.
The striking watercolor paintings by wildlife artist John Sill shows the
characteristics all seabirds share, while offering a closer look at a
number of these distinctive birds that spend most of their lives on or
near the ocean, lakes, or along the shore--from the brown pelican and
the king penguin to the magnificent frigatebird and the blue-footed
booby. A glossary, afterword, and suggestions for further reading will
inspire young readers to learn more.
Perfect for early childhood and elementary science units on birds,
marine, and animal life.
