For example, bright oranges and purples paired with deep browns combine for a dramatic view of a turkey vulture, accompanied by the text, \"Why does a vulture soar high overhead?\" The answer, however, which with the lift of a flap shows a group of vultures picking bones, contains words that defy the decoding strategies of most young readers: \"It's sniffing the wind for the scent of the dead.\" The lyrebird is said to be \"mimicking other birds warbling in spring,\" and the snacks that a roadrunner \"grind[s] in its gizzard\" are \"Tarantulas, rattlesnakes, beetles and lizards.\" While the rhyming text is interesting, it is not typical of books intended for a young audience. The lively illustrations and presentation of facts make this book a delightful read-aloud for budding naturalists, but it is an additional purchase for most collections.Lynn Dye, Keheley Elementary School, Marietta, GACopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Product Description This colorful flapbook introduces 12 exotic birds with a blend of rhyming text and lush artwork. From Publishers Weekly \"Where does a tiger-heron spend the night? Deep in the mangroves, tucked out of sight.\" In Where Does a Tiger-Heron Spend the Night? by Margaret Carney, illus. by Mlanie Watt, children lift a fold-out page on the right of each spread to reveal the second half of rhyming q\u0026amp;a couplets. Vibrant acrylics provide close-ups of the creatures and their natural surroundings. Additional information about each bird appears in the final spread. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Ages 3-6. In this well-designed picture book, a rhythmic, rhyming text introduces a variety of animals living in different habitats and tells a little about each one. Every double-page spread features a flap that folds out to extend the illustration horizontally and reveal the answer to the question posed on the left. For instance, the spread showing two toucans carries the text: \"What does a toucan most like to eat?\" The flap opens outward to illustrate the reply: \"Wild figs and mangoes, juicy and sweet.\" The closing pages offer a paragraph of information about each species mentioned. The book's concept is simple, the technique for revealing the answers is satisfying, and the vibrantly colored acrylic paintings are eye-openers. Good for reading aloud.
