About This Book

Children know that birds have beaks, but do they know why the beaks on different kinds of birds look so different? This high-interest, yet information-packed, title will explain why toucans, oystercatchers, pelicans, and more have the kinds of amazing beaks they do. Plus, they will learn about one special beaked animal that is not a bird—the duck-billed platypus!
