Eleven
species of birds are pictured in this volume and most of them
are captured in flight by photographer Rick Lieder. The stop-action
shows the birds caught in flight while Helen Frost's short
poems add the description that explains what the child is
seeing.
This is an exquisite book because of the photography and any
child who is fascinated by birds in flight will love gazing
at these pictures. Besides the range of species, the large
photos really focus on the featured birds and bring them to
life on each page.
At the back of the book, you'll find detailed profiles of
each of the featured birds. This would be an excellent home
or school library resource that will pique a youngster's interest
in learning more about birds.
