If you thought beaks were just for pecking, think again. This picture book examines in piercing detail the astonishing adaptability of birds' beaks. [...] An unusual insight into one aspect of the amazing adaptability of birds., By zooming in on one of birds' most idiosyncratic features, Page reveals just what a multifaceted marvel a beak can be: "This beak is for drilling./ This beak is for scooping.// This beak is for shredding./ This beak is for clutching." Placed alongside a large, clean-lined illustration of a bird in profile, a declarative statement on each page describes what a specific beak can do. (Expertly captured field marks, rendered in vibrant, saturated color, pop against the crisp white background.) Page also offers a sentence explaining the declaration alongside an inset illustration showing the bird using its beak as described: "Using the expandable pouch that is part of its beak, the pelican scoops up a fish." A clear, concise, and engaging read for fledgling ornithologists. Back matter includes more species detail and a bibliography. Ages 3-8. (Jan.), If you thought beaks were just for pecking, think again. This picture book examines in piercing detail the astonishing adaptability of birds' beaks. Twenty-one different birds from different parts of the world are illustrated to show the unique functions of each species' beaks. The kiwi's nostrils are located at the end of its beak to allow it to smell its food before ingesting it. The shoebill stork has a large, heavy beak ideal for crushing fish "or the occasional lizard or baby crocodile." The common tailorbird can actually sew leaves together using spiderweb silk to make a nest, and the macaw uses its hooked beak to climb trees. The unbelievably cute Atlantic puffin uses its hinged beak (aided by spines inside its mouth) to hold a big mouthful of fish, and of course, most birds use their beaks to make their first entrance to the world out of the egg. Brightly colored collage close-ups of each bird's head and beak adorn the spare, white pages, with brief text describing the function of each bird's beak and a small vignette of the whole bird, showing how the bird uses its beak. A double-page diagram showing where the birds live and what they eat is included....An unusual insight into one aspect of the amazing adaptability of birds.
