Summary

"This beautiful book will take you deep into the forest, far out to sea, and high into the air, to discover the amaing birds that live there. From the majestic condor to teh tiny bee hummingbird, this book captures a variety of birds through stunning illustrations. See the dazzling quetzel, the lightning-fast peregrine falcon, the gigantic ostrich, and the incredible emperor penguin. Intriguing facts accompany every illustration, so you can find out why the flamingo's feathers are pink, how the frigatebird can float like a kite, and why the scarlet macaw eats clay. Discover all these facts and more in this wonderful keepsake that you will revisit time and time again"--Page [4] of cover
