I love non-fiction picture books, especially those that include facts that we haven't hear a thousand times before.

Feathers are not just for flying! They are used for digging, warmth, protection, and more. Great introduction to feathers for young readers and learners. I only used the large print and identified a few birds in the illustrations along the way.

This is one of those two-books-in-one type of books, where there's a nice simple book for younger kids and more details in captions on every page for older kids. Ultimately, I don't like that format because I find it too distracting (ADHD person here) and I end up having to read the book twice. It's cute though and I don't doubt other people will love it for what I don't.

Gorgeous illustrations. This would work well with the Mama Built a Little Nest showing the wide variety there is between birds. Just enough information for young readers.

Loved this book. Loved the simple text that leads into the more in-depth information. Loved that that part is "written" on a notebook piece of paper. Loved the analogies so children can connect the function to their world. Loved how in the back of the book, Stewart talks about how she uses 3 sources - materials from the library, the internet and her own field journals. Loved this book!

Engagingly informative. The authors note at the end is going to be my focus inspiration for my students' research papers.

I read this as research for nonfiction picture book writers. As a bird enthusiast, I learned some new things about feathers’ functions, and I appreciated seeing all of the beautifully illustrated feathers. The spare main text paired well with the more detailed side bar info. I liked the conceit of each feather being compared to an everyday object.
