Great Bustard: The World's Heaviest Flying Bird

(4) K-3 SuperSized! series. A straightforward text, stock photos, and maps introduce the habitat, diet, physical features, life cycle, and behavior of the world's largest (Ostrich) and heaviest (Bustard) birds. Simple comparisons (e.g., "A male great bustard weighs about the same as a bulldog") overcome some vagueness ("Today, people are working to protect these big, flying birds") to present very basic information. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these SuperSized! titles: Great Bustard and Ostrich.
