A young boy wanders through nature wondering, " What makes a bird?"  Is it a bird because it has feathers, or a beak?  Is it because it has wings?  What is it that makes a creature a bird?

What Makes a Bird? is a thoughtful journey through the facts that we know about birds.  I enjoyed the fresh, pretty illustrations.
