The Little Book of Birds

by Anne Jankeliowitch

This compact, delightfully illustrated selection of birds from North and South America, Eurasia, Africa, and Australia has a page of descriptive information on each bird combining the factual with the fascinating. Answers to questions When does the peacock spread its feathers? Why does the flamingo stand on one leg? Where do Ostriches come from? From what distance can an eagle see its prey? are embedded in each entry. The 79 chromolithographs, part of a private collection, have an appealingly vintage effect.

A cute little book I bought in an airport on my way home from seeing my family. It has gold leafed pages on all sides of the book, and as you open the book, you will see a bird name and a brief page description of the bird, with an art picture of the bird on the page next to it. This book tells you where in the world the bird is located. A very cute gift book that you can display on a bookshelf after reading it. I give it a rating of 3 because I wished the pictures were more realistic or better art than what I see. I would of liked to see more detail.
