Pelicans
From antlered elk to pouched pelicans, and from scouting prairie dogs to upright-swimming seahorses, the world of animals is wonderfully diverse. This popular series—extended to include more Spanish-language titles—travels the planet to study these and other fascinating mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates. Beautiful photos are paired with STEM-appropriate text to examine the featured creature's appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each book also presents a folk story that people have used to help explain the animal's appearance or behavior. A basic exploration of the appearance, behavior, and habitat of pelicans, the long-billed waterbirds. Also included is a story from folklore explaining why some pelicans have white feathers.

Pelicans is eye-candy in that the photos were so beautiful and made the Pelicans look so lifelike I actually reached out to touch the birds.
A Few Things I Learned
. There are eight kinds of Pelicans that can weigh up to 25-pounds
.Pelicans are some of the biggest birds in the world
.Pelicans live on every continent except Antarctica
.Pelicans pouch is used like a net to scoop up fish
I believe reads of all ages will enjoy the Pelicans book.
