Come along on a tour of the wonderful world of birds and their beaks. This book is the story of a child and two grown-up friends on a jaunt across their yard, in a park, past a pond, and through the pages of a photo album. Like them, you'll find you can figure out what birds eat by the shape of their bills--and why some have beaks like straws, pouches, or even daggers. Also like them, you'll have all kinds of questions about amazing birds--from house finches to hummingbirds to great blue herons--that use their own built-in tools for eating. Rounding out the story are five kid-friendly activities and background information parents and teachers can use.
