(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Adrienne Yorinks. Ingeniously illustrated with fabric collages created with paint, glitter, cotton, and silk, this book provides solid information about topics including size, appearance, habits, migration, and reproduction. Each section is followed by a thematically related folktale. The short, bare-bones, unsourced tales have less vitality than the whirring birds they describe. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
