A funny and informative look at birds and their unique behavioral
adaptations
Birds can do a lot more than just fly! Did you know some of them can
dig, dance, dive, and dabble? This nonfiction book introduces readers to
an assortment of fascinating birds and their surprising behaviors.
Readers will learn about flightless birds like the Adélie penguin, which
toboggans down hills on its belly, or the kakapo, which climbs up trees
to escape danger. Even birds that fly have quirky survival
behaviors--like the barred owl, which can turn its head almost all the
way around, or the blue-footed booby, which dives from great heights to
catch fish.
Written by prolific children's nonfiction author and educator Etta Kaner
and whimsically illustrated by artist June Steube, Dig, Dance, Dive
invites readers to greet all sorts of amazing feathered friends in a fun
and informative exploration.
