Even an Ostrich Needs a Nest: Where Birds Begin

32 pp. | Holiday | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2102-2 $16.95
(3) K-3 Nicely balancing accuracy and accessibility, Kelly presents well-chosen information about dozens of birds' nesting habits and materials, from a blue-footed booby covering an egg with her feet to masked weavers constructing hanging nests from shredded leaves. The friendly page design includes wavy lines of hand-lettered-looking text and simple, clear illustrations. A world map at the end shows distribution.
