Review: An informative introduction to some very interesting birds.
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book contains several images, as well as some very interesting information about these unusual birds. Double-tapping the images will enlarge them for closer examination.The text is interesting and informative, but could use a bit of additional proofreading to catch the occasional misused word (chic/chick, for example). Otherwise, the text is cohesive and generally relates to the accompanying images, unlike some other books of this type being offered. Also unlike many others, all of the images in this book are attributed -- kudos to the author for giving credit to the various photographers.One note of caution for parents: younger or more sensitive readers may be disturbed by the description of the Nazcan Booby's practice of raising only one of their two chicks. Perhaps some sort of parental introduction/explanation of that aspect would be helpful, as it would be a shame to miss out on an otherwise great learning experience.
