White feathers glide ... Long neck curves ... Meet the swan! Brimming
with vivid photos and scientific facts, Swans treats middle-grade
researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these
beautiful birds. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet,
habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the
animals' relationships with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range
map, and a glossary support the main text, while a swan myth from
ancient Greece adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
