Summary: When you think about it, how many different characteristics do birds have? According to this book, birds are very different. Yes they all have feathers and were hatched from eggs, but they have so many features that make them unique. The illustrations of each bird depict their environment, which suits this book well.
Personal response: This book was a great book about birds and how they have features that help them adapt to their environment. I love how at the end of the book the author includes a small picture of each page and writes some facts about the bird.
Classroom connections: Before reading this book, I would ask students to discuss some things they know about birds; like where they live and what they eat. Then I would read the story to the students stopping periodically to discuss the illustrations of the birds and how the author includes some of their habitat in the illustrations. After reading the story, I would take time to read the paragraphs of information at the end of the book and then ask students to tell me some things they know about birds. I am sure they will be able to name a lot more things than they could before.
