“What It’s Like to Be a Bird” includes nearly every kind of bird, describing their habitat, environment, and anatomy using fun facts and beautiful illustrations. Besides the paintings of their environment and what they look like, Sibley also explains their skeletal and physiological systems, including comparing them to the human body/body parts. Sibley also includes activities showing refraction, birds’ eyesight, and how birds fly. Sibley creates a fantastic way to introduce biology and habitats to young readers through art and tactile learning.
