Really Outstanding Children?s Book

I am a third-grade teacher who bought this book for my nine-year-old daughter when she requested a picture book about peacocks. This book is one of the best animal books for children that I've ever seen, as are all the other books in the Early Bird Nature Series. In 45 pages, there are 39 outstanding, full-color photographs. The enlarged text is perfect both for reading to a child, or for a child to read to himself. The language and book design are perfect for a child between Grades 2 and 4, but even quite interesting even for me, as an adult! Topics covered in the book include: types of peafowl; differences between males, females, and chicks; how peafowl live together in groups; where in the world peafowl are living today, and where they are originally from; enemies of peafowl; what peafowl eat, and how their digestive systems work; the different types of feathers they have, and how each type works, as well as its function; why and how peacocks display their feathers; strutting; fighting; oil, preening, and dirt baths; and all about their eggs, nests, and chicks.The first page in the book both introduces new vocabulary words to be found in the text, and also explains where to find the small glossary at the back of the book, and how to use it. I highly recommend this book for your child. It will give you hours of pleasure reading together. It would also be an excellent edition to any school library. I purchased the library-bound edition, which is both beautiful and tough. The cover photo is extraordinary.
