I really enjoyed this book and would enjoy having it in my classroom because I think it's on a really interesting subject that a lot of kids would not know a lot about but would want to learn more. I think this is also another really great example of a book that can introduce informational texts to young readers because it has bright pictures, lots of text features, a table of contents, and a glossary

My children were both fascinated by this book and all the fun facts they learned from it. We read it several times. I was surprised by how much my kids enjoyed it and how much information they retained. I loved that the nonfiction subject matter intrigued my children as much as it did. I think the photographs on each page really helped.

Pros: Kids love animals, especially unique ones! They'll learn a lot of interesting facts about this unique bird.
