With a spare, rhythmic text that sometimes rhymes, this book notes that while all birds have certain features--beaks, wings, and capability of hatching from eggs--their unique feature is feathers. Detailed, captioned illustrations in gouache, watercolor, and colored pencil support and extend the text by showing selected birds from around the world, though their provenance isn't included.
