(3) K-3 Illustrated by Patricia J. Wynne. This well-organized volume clearly, simply, and uncondescendingly explains bird flight, with such subtopics as feathers, wings, taking off, flapping, hovering, gliding, steering, and landing. Careful, artistic illustrations range from many types of birds performing a particular maneuver to cutaways and close-ups of bird anatomy. A guess-the-bird feature concludes the book. Reading list. Glos.
