Product Description Birds of every shape and color soar through the sky, and many like to rest in backyards. Through the use of accessible text, readers take an exciting trip through the skies and into the lives of these bright creatures. A picture glossary helps beginning readers strengthen their vocabulary skills, and vibrant, full-color photographs show birds in flight and in the nest. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-In these introductions to common animals, spreads consist of a full-color photo on one side and one or two sentences in a large font on the other. The images generally support new words featured in the text. Readers will learn about the animals' homes, bodies, life cycles, and diet, among other things. By the time students learn to read, however, they may already know much of the very basic information presented in this series, but the titles could also be read aloud to younger children. Unfortunately, Butterfly refers to a cocoon rather than the preferred chrysalis and some difficult vocabulary (such as "migration") is left out of the picture glossaries. a(c) Copyright 2011.
