Birds of Paradise: Winged Wonders (Nature's Children)

Did you know that all birds of paradise live in one small area of the world?

Nature's Children series provides young readers (Ages 8-10) with fascinating information about the planet's most incredible wildlife species. Each title offers a complete picture of the animal- from birth to adulthood- and describes its place in our world, including how humans impact it and its environment. | *"These new entries prove that the long-running Nature's Children series is as reliable as ever. Recently refreshed with updated cover and interior designs, these clear, informative texts are written in an engaging tone and illustrated with well-chosen photos, making them perfect for young researchers. Birds of Paradise describes these beautifully plumed birds and their diet, behavior, courtship, habitat (and how that habitat has shaped their physical characteristics), as well as dangers faced due to deforestation...Each tide opens with a "Fact File" containing brief summaries on its animal 's habitat, diet, size (with a helpful infographic), physical features, and classification. Large photographs and labeled body diagrams allow for an even closer view at the species discussed. A family tree, glossary, and list of recommended books round out these incredibly in formative titles. Highly recommended for all children's nonfiction collections."--Booklist, starred review | Cyndy Unwin lives in the mountains of Virginia with her husband and very nonathletic cat, Max.
