Each book includes an engaging introduction, taxonomy chart, and glossary. These books generate awareness of, and inspire respect for, the amazing range of life on our planet.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-- Initially this visually appealing book seems lively enough to attract browsers, but upon closer inspection they will realize that it offers little more than one-paragraph chapters on birds, many of which are not at all weird (e.g., hummingbirds, penguins, pheasants). There is no table of contents, but there is a glossarized index. Disappointment awaits readers who move from the index into the insubstantial text. For each of the several dozen birds discussed there is a full-color, full-page photograph accompanied by a chatty fact or two. This is not the stuff reports are made of, and it has little to offer most children. --J. J. Votapka, Hempstead Public Library, NY
