From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Vibrant, up-close acrylic illustrations of unusual birds make this lift-the-flap book appealing to children, although the vocabulary is challenging for all but the most advanced primary readers. For example, bright oranges and purples paired with deep browns combine for a dramatic view of a turkey vulture, accompanied by the text, "Why does a vulture soar high overhead?" The answer, however, which with the lift of a flap shows a group of vultures picking bones, contains words that defy the decoding strategies of most young readers: "It's sniffing the wind for the scent of the dead." The lyrebird is said to be "mimicking other birds warbling in spring," and the snacks that a roadrunner "grind[s] in its gizzard" are "Tarantulas, rattlesnakes, beetles and lizards." While the rhyming text is interesting, it is not typical of books intended for a young audience. The lively illustrations and presentation of facts make this book a delightful read-aloud for budding naturalists, but it is an additional purchase for most collections.
