Why read it?
1 author picked The Beak Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When is a beak not just a beak? When it's a filter, a drill, or an air conditioner, of course! Each beautifully illustrated page focuses on one bird and the wonderful (and sometimes strange) things it can do with its beak. Kids will love learning about the tools birds come equipped with, and perhaps most importantly, the one they use for breaking out of their eggs!
From Danna's list on The best books for children about birds.
