(3) K-3 "From the time they are born birds use their beaks...in many unusual and amazing ways." Single- and double-page spreads detail those ways, e.g., "This beak is for straining" (duck); "This beak is for filtering" (flamingo); "This beak is for climbing" (macaw). Each use is accompanied by a close-up of the bird and a smaller illustration of the bird using its beak; white backgrounds keep the focus on the detailed, vibrant digital illustrations. A final spread shows a graphic of the twenty-one birds drawn to scale, along with information about what they eat and where they live. A bibliography and resources for further reading are included.
