Twenty-nine bird species are spotlighted in this carefully rendered collection, where bluebirds frame the letter "B," an ibis stands as high as the letter "I," a curious umbrella bird perches on the letter "U," and an "S" curves around the bodies of three mute swans. Additional varieties include: American Avocet Cardinal; Duck (Mallard) Egret; Goldfinch Painted Bunting; Quetzal Toucan; Warbler Xenops; and the multi-striped Zebra Finch.As a bonus, a lovely two-page spread features a quartet of winged creatures perched on the branches of a flowering tree. Identifying captions accompany each delightful drawing.
