COPY ISBN
PreS-K–A unique take on opposites, this book explores birds from all over the world—yes, even Antarctica! Each spread introduces a different bird, sharing fun facts about where it lives and its distinctive traits. “The emperor penguin lives in the COLD by the sea, where there’s fish to be caught. / The verdin eats spiders and bugs and likes the desert, where it’s hot.” Fun facts highlight their habitats, such as, “Antarctica is the only habitat of the emperor penguin” and “The verdin can be found in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico.” Bright digital illustrations will keep young readers engaged as they sneakily learn opposites while discovering all about birds.
VERDICT A solid purchase for most libraries.
