Illustrated by
Melanie Watt.
Effectively formatted with a foldout right page that conceals the rhyming answer to the question posed on the left, this book offers selected bird lore from habitat to diet to anatomy. "Why does a hummingbird hover midair? / To sip from the trumpetvine dangling there." Bright acrylic illustrations enliven the presentation, while an afterword supplies further information.
