What exactly makes a bird a bird? Is it flying? Singing? Building a nest or laying eggs?
May Garelick takes young readers on a wonderfully simple exploration of the bird world, gradually revealing the one thing that truly sets birds apart: feathers. Illustrated by Caldecott Medal–winning artist Leonard Weisgard, this vintage nature book combines science and observation with beautiful, atmospheric artwork.
A lovely introduction to birds for curious young naturalists.
