From Ostriches to Woodpeckers, Birds to the Strangest Things

This is a great book for five or six year old. Mom or Dad is going to have to read it, but it'll hold your child's interest, because it is written well and the illustrations, though done in the style of yesteryear, are so nice. An added plus is your child (or the one you're babysitting) will learn about birds, without realizing he's learning and that's the way it should be, learning should be fun. From Ostriches to Woodpeckers, birds do the strangest things that captivate children and this book will captivate yours.

Fascinating bird wonders for all ages!

The male Emporer penguin goes without food for two months to keep an egg warm between his feet and belly... the African Honey Bird leads humans to beehives in order to share in the bounty (it wants the wax, not the honey). Birds do the strangest things! I remember loving this book as a child (along with Animals do the Strangest Things) and was glad to find a copy in a used bookstore to read my own child. It is still just as fascinating as I had remembered! I wish Scholastic would reprint this series.
