Birds

Animal Classes

by Kari Schuetz

Compare a hummingbird and an ostrich; the differences are striking! One is tiny and hovers in the air like a helicopter. The other is massive and stays grounded, sprinting rather than flying. Though opposite in many ways, hummingbirds and ostriches share features such as feathers and wings that mean they are both birds. Discover how all birds are alike in this informative title.

Just right for an emerging reader who is looking for the chance to learn some beginning facts. This does just enough without overcomplicating the matter. The photography is very clear and engaging and the book does an admirable job of explaining some basic matters of biological classification, which a teacher will appreciate though a student might not see as terribly important yet. Good elementary library book.

My favorite bird is the Peregrine Falcon because it looks like he has golden feathers on the bottom of his body.
