(4) K-3 Kingfisher Readers series. "Birds are everywhere!" This beginning-reader text explains "what makes an animal a bird" (feathers, wings, a beak), highlighting adaptive benefits and interspecies variation of these features, then traces a bird's egg-to-flight development; the content includes some minor inaccuracies. Bright bird photographs, including an actual-size image of a bee hummingbird, illuminate in-text descriptions and may occasionally assist new readers. Glos.
