Illustrated by
Louise Schroeder.
Armed with a twelve-item checklist, a team of five cartoon bluebirds flies worldwide to view avian extremes such as "fastest-moving" and "pinkest." Useful sidebars include "Field Guide" compare-and-contrast details about the record-setting creatures; serious birders will likely want to skip the forced story and focus their attention on the facts. Illustrations differentiate between the cartoon animals and their quarry.
