Description
Why do some birds have beaks like straws, or pouches, or even daggers? Invite students to find out by reading this story of a child and two grown-up friends on a jaunt that sparks all kinds of questions. In addition to kindling kids’ curiosity, the colourful book shows how the structure of birds’ beaks plays a significant role in how birds function to find and capture their food. Bonus background material and eight age-appropriate activities round out the contents. The authors are husband-and-wife naturalists who also wrote and illustrated From Flower to Fruit.
