Description
A playful tour through the flight patterns of pelicans, peregrine falcons, and other incredible birds. "What if I never learn to fly?" a baby chickadee asks. "You will when the time comes!" an adult answers. "Let me tell you about how our friends fly." Will the chick fly like a hummingbird--moving its wings at top speed and sipping nectar from flowers? Will it fly like an Andean condor--using air streams to soar through the mountains? Will it fly like a penguin--flapping its wings like fins underwater? Maybe this tiny chickadee can find its own way to fly. With vibrant illustrations and incredible facts about each feathered friend, Fly Like a Bird is a thrilling introduction to life on the wing. This warm, conversational book is perfect for nature lovers, aspiring birdwatchers, and anyone who's ever wondered how to soar into the future.
