“Birds are absolutely amazing creatures with their vibrant plumage, lovely melodies, ability to fly, and dinosaur ancestry. But did you know that among the enormous diversity of species that have been identified are brave acrobats, careless annoyers, cunning hunters, superb swimmers, and blazing runners? Or that the world’s smallest bird is only two inches long?
Through a variety of coloring pages, reusable stickers, and a quick test, Olivia Cosneau’s exquisitely illustrated book Birds of the World introduces budding ornithologists to these and other interesting facts. Children learn about the wide variety of birds that inhabit our planet along the way, including, among others, nightingales, swallows, hummingbirds, pelicans, penguins, parrots, toucans, and flamingos.”
