[Beverly · Rating 5 out of 5]

36 species of birds are featured in this oversized, beautiful book. The bird species are from all over the world, and a variety of species from flightless to flighted, large to small, raptor to songbird, land bird to water bird. Each double-page spread depicts one bird species, with several facts listed. Also included is a sidebar "Fact file" which lists where it lives, habitat, length, wingspan, weight, lifespan, and diet. Each spread features a gorgeous painting of the bird, which takes up one-third to one-half of the spread. Young bird lovers will devour this book.
