Odd Birds: Meet Nature's Weirdest Flock
Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Meet nature's oddballs in this charming board book about some of the most unique birds in the world

Backyard birds--move over! Odd Birds introduces babies and toddlers to unusual bird species, including the magnificent frigatebird with a bright red throat pouch and the California condor--the largest flying birds in North America! Gentle rhyming verses provide the comforting repetition that little ones crave, even as their minds are opened to new and fascinating creatures from around the world. At the end of the book, readers will find photographs of each bird, along with more detailed factual information. The eight birds featured are the magnificent frigatebird, blue-footed booby, shoebill stork, ostrich, hoatzin, oilbird, California condor, and burrowing owl.

Starred Review
A winning mix of illuminating facts and charming artwork--this book definitely isn't for the birds.
