5 stars Children’s Nonfiction
Wowza! This is a fantastic resource. Packed with lots of interesting and educational information, this book is a true gem. If you’re looking for specific information or just want to read about birds, this book is one that you should definitely pick up. A reader-friendly treasure, this nonfiction book speaks to the reader, pumping out information about these feathered friends from many different topics including but not limited to: their relationships, habitats, their anatomy, and it even covers all the different names of the feathers on their bodies.
I liked how the book laid out the information on the pages and how they used different fonts within the pages. There is a large selection of realistic birds drawn on the pages (with the bird’s name written beside it) and the book has a great flow to it. What might you learn:
How important the chalaza is to an egg.
The difference between an altricial and a precocial.
How do birds stay safe and communicate.
What are contour and flight feathers and their purpose.
Migration patterns for 6 different birds – did you know that 40% of birds migrate?
That birds have a special sense within them that helps them navigate.
What you can do to help birds.
I really enjoyed this book and think this is a fantastic book. This is one book that will be read repeatedly as there’s lots of information inside it. 5 stars
