"This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive book is all about why birds are such an important part of the wildlife food chain. In this fourth book in the Nature All Around series, young readers will learn all about birds' body parts, life cycles, habitats and more, before going on a journey through a year in a bird's life. Essential scientific topics, such as migration and pollination, are explained in kid-friendly language, with helpful illustrations. Readers will even get to know the birds in their communities with the help of a bird-watching questionnaire. End matter includes information about endangered birds and how readers can help, a "Make a Bird Feeder" activity, glossary and index."-- Provided by publisher.
