An informative and entertaining introduction for young children to the
amazing birds that live near water in all types of habitats.
In this addition to the About... series, award-winning author Cathryn
Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what
waterfowl are, where they live, what they eat, and how they move.
John Sill's detailed, full-color illustrations show the characteristics
of different types of waterfowl--from the Trumpeter Swans of
northwestern North America to the Bar-headed Geese of central Asia.
Young learners who may only be familiar with the ducklings and geese on
local ponds and lakes will be delighted to discover the amazing variety
of waterfowl in the world. A glossary and afterword provide further
fascinating details about waterfowl that will inspire readers to learn
more.
