(4) K-3 Birds series. In each book, a clear and interesting text and sharp color photos cover physical characteristics, care of young, life cycles, history, and conservation. An overly fussy design detracts from the book's usefulness. Doves includes a recipe for a seed-filled treat to set outside; Eagles contains an activity that clarifies the term eagle-eyed. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Birds titles: Doves and Eagles.]
