Los jóvenes naturalistas exploran dieciséis aves en esta elegante introducción a los muchos usos notables de las plumas.

Un texto principal conciso destaca cómo las plumas no son sólo para volar. Los lectores más curiosos están invitados a profundizar con recuadros informativos en las páginas que subrayan cómo las plumas de todas las formas y tamaños ayudan a las aves a enfrentar el frío o el calor, protegerse del sol, nadar, planear e incluso cavar.
Con una variedad de especies comunes y exóticas, los lectores se sentirán atraídos tanto por lo nuevo como por lo familiar. Las hermosas y delicadas ilustraciones en acuarela muestran plumas a tamaño real y las comparan con objetos cotidianos.

Con un diseño de álbum de recortes, Las plumas es, por un lado, un diario científico y, por el otro, un libro de no ficción para leer en voz alta, lo que lo convierte en un recurso maravilloso para estudios de la naturaleza y una delicia para los amantes de las aves más jóvenes.

Young naturalists explore sixteen birds in this elegant introduction to the many remarkable uses of feathers.

A concise main text highlights how feathers are not just for flying. More curious readers are invited to dig deeper with informative sidebars that underscore how feathers of all shapes and sizes help birds with warming or cooling, protect them from the sun, help them swim, glide or even dig.

With a range of common and exotic species readers will be engaged by both the new and the familiar. Beautiful and delicate watercolor illustrations showcase life-size feathers and compare them to everyday objects.

With a scrapbook design, Feathers is part science journal, part read-along nonfiction, making it a wonderful resource for nature studies and a delight for the youngest bird lovers.
