Easy text but geared to about late elementary school to junior high (or even adults). CONTENT: Imagine pelicans that turn their pouches inside out. Quails that march up and down mountains. And hummingbirds that beat their wings five million times without rest. These are a few of the birds Swanson writes about in this book.
