Unbeatable Beaks

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joan Paley. In sometimes forced rhyme, this text lists the various shapes beaks take and the uses birds have for them but never clearly correlates the shapes with the uses. Paint, crayon, and pencil accents add texture to the bold cut-paper collages, which offer striking, close-up portraits of the birds. A glossary briefly catalogs the beak shape, diet, and region of each of the thirty-nine birds depicted.
