Birds (Wild World: Fast and Slow Animals)

by Brenna Maloney

Overview

Ready, set, go! Did you ever wonder which animals are the fastest… and the slowest?

All birds can move! But how do these animals actually go from place to place? Eagles can soar and glide. Hummingbirds can fly forward and backward.. Ostriches can run using their strong legs. Penguins don't fly: they waddle or swim. Which animal do you think would win in a race? Look inside to discover which of the ten birds in this book are super slow and which ones are really fast!

ABOUT THE SERIES:

Kids can’t get enough animal facts! Starting with the slowest animal in each group — amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles — readers will want to read to the end as the ten animals listed get faster and faster. All the books in this brand-new series brim with colorful photographs and fascinating facts about the featured animals´ body, diet and habitat. Short blocks of text entertain and explain why some animals are super slow while others are really fast!
