Birds - Paperback

Birds are found all over the world. Some, like penguins, live in cold places while others, like toucans, live in tropical climates. All birds have wings, which most use for flying. Some birds don't fly but use their wings as flippers for swimming or have strong legs for running. All birds have feathers, lay eggs, and have hollow bones to make them lighter so they can fly. Most birds live on land and some spend most of their time in water. Birds eat seeds, insects, or small animals. It is suggested that kids learn about birds by observing them and recording what they see in a notebook. Examples of different birds are shown.

A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.
