Gr 3–5—Well-organized information and complementary visuals highlight these avian overviews. An opening chapter describes a particular bird in pursuit of prey, with photographs showing flight and capture. Subsequent sections describe physical features, habitats, and behaviors. Information includes general facts that apply to all or most of the bird family, along with more specific data related to individual examples within the group. Species are identified in many of the photos, often in relation to facts from the text. In Falcons, for example, a description of the general wingspan range of falcons is coupled with a captioned photograph showing the impressive wings of the gyrfalcon, the largest species. Images are clear and nicely varied, ranging from smaller views set in circular frames to full spreads. VERDICT Appealing and informative introductions to the world of raptors.
