Birds Book

An exciting new addition to Abrams' award-winning collection of nature books for children

Birds is the right choice for the young bird-watcher, or any kids interested in learning more about the world around them. From fascinating facts (how ostriches descended from dinosaurs) to differing nesting practices and comparisons of beaks and songs, this informative book features a wide range of feathered friends, from owls to toucans. Stunning photography brings the birds to life, while the text includes an important message of wildlife conservation and protection.
