Description
Young naturalists explore sixteen birds in this elegant introduction to the many, remarkable uses of feathers. A concise main text highlights how feathers are not just for flying. More curious readers are invited to dig deeper with informative sidebars that underscore how feathers of all shapes and sizes help birds with warming or cooling, protect them from the sun, help them swim, glide or even dig. With a range of common and exotic species readers will be engaged by both the new and the familiar. Beautiful and delicate watercolor illustrations showcase life-size feathers and compare them to everyday objects. With a scrapbook design, Feathers is part science journal, part read-along nonfiction, making it a wonderful resource for nature studies and a delight for the youngest bird lovers.

Visually oriented readers will be drawn to the intricate, carefully rendered illustrations of various bird feathers in these picture books. Plume offers a charmingly minimal story about a cat, while Feathers offers intriguing nature facts. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
Aviary Wonders Inc. Spring Catalog and Instruction Manual: renewing the world's bird supply since 2031 - Samworth, Kate
Budding naturalists will be fascinated by the beautifully precise illustrations of birds in both of these eye-catching books. Feathers' nonfictional scrapbook style has a lighter tone than Aviary Wonders, a fictional catalog from a bleak future where birds are extinct. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
