Birds & Animals

Birds A To Z uses an accessible and successful format to describe a selection of 26 birds. Each page features two full-colour photographs of the bird, one or two descriptive paragraphs and a fact box that provides at-a-glance details on each entry's Latin name, diet, range, length, weight, wingspan and nest location. Accurate and up-to-date but with an informal presentation, Birds A To Z is an engaging view into the avian world. AGES: 7-10 AUTHOR: Chris G.
