Beaks! by Sneed B. Collard III
4.0
As the title indicates, this book is all about bird beaks. It covers the differences in beaks and the reasons those beaks are different. There is also a brief discussion about biological evolution and how some beaks have changed over time.
I thought that this book was great. The pictures are really good; the text is very clear and thorough. There is even a short quiz at the end of the book to see if the reader can identify the uses of some beaks.
This would be a great text to use in discussing birds. I think an even better use would be when discussing biological diversity and evolution. There is a pretty standard activity on beaks for upper elementary and junior high, and this book would be a great companion for that.
