With humor and clarity, Sheneman traces the evolution of birds, from meat-eating theropods to the fine-feathered friends we know today. The colorful, cartoonlike illustrations help convey information; the dinosaurs and their bird relations have their say in goofy speech bubbles. Many readers may be familiar with the bird/dinosaur connection, but Sheneman takes a closer look at how birds' prehistoric ancestors avoided extinction. An illustrated "Highlights of Avian History" is appended. Pair with Dennis Nolan's Dinosaur Feathers.
