Each plate, numbered and labeled with the specific bird's name, corresponds to an afterword that contains a fact-filled paragraph with information such as distribution, habitat, food, and special capabilities for the pictured animal. The main text is easily accessible for young readers, while older kids will also be interested in the back matter. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos.
