Illustrated by
John Sill.
On each spread, one simple sentence of text ("Some raptors capture prey in the air") faces a detailed full-page painting of a bird from the raptor order. Each picture, numbered and labeled with the bird's name, corresponds with a fact-filled paragraph in the afterword with more information about that bird's habitat, food, special capabilities, etc. An accessible and attractive presentation.
