See what an ostrich has in common with a secretary bird. Learn what sets an ostrich apart from a merlin. Readers will compare key traits of ostriches―their appearance, behavior, habitat, and life cycle―to traits of other birds. Charts and sidebars support key ideas and provide details. Through gathering information about similarities and differences, readers will make connections and draw conclusions about what makes this animal a bird and how birds are alike and different from each other.

Laura Hamilton Waxman lives in Minnesota and has written many nonfiction books for young readers.
"Students who enjoyed previous iterations of this set, which in the past covered reptiles and mammals, will be pleased to see these installations. Each title begins with a look at the bird in question and then makes comparisons on the basis of a variety of traits, such as habitat, range, diet, and more. The layout is inviting, and the clear and color photographs of birds in action will tempt budding ornithologists. Intriguing and effective additions."―School Library Journal
