Caldecott Honor-winning team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page celebrate
the astonishing diversity of bird species in this magnificently
illustrated picture book.
They can dance, sing, and, of course, fly--what's not to love about
birds?
With more than 10,000 species of dramatically different colors, shapes,
and sizes, birds are some of the most fascinating creatures on the
planet. The only animal with feathers, birds have soared through the
skies for millions of years. In this beautiful picture book, learn what
makes a bird a bird, what birds like to eat, and how these masters of
the air have evolved.
Ever wonder which bird is the smallest? Or the fastest? Which can fly
the highest? Or stay airborne longest? You'll find answers to these
questions and countless others in The Bird Book.
Jenkins and Page present a stunning array of these amazing aviators and
the extraordinary ways they survive this world, whether in the water, on
land, or flying high above.
