(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah S. Brannen. The remarkable variety of birds' feathers is the focus of this beautifully illustrated volume. Feathers provide birds with warmth and cooling, protection from the sun, and the ability to fly, dig, swim, or glide. On each double-page spread, designed to evoke a bulletin board, a simple main text points out the primary functions of the featured feathers, while text boxes present specific facts.
