With simple two-word phrases ("Birdy nibbling / Birdy dribbling / Birdy stretching / Birdy stepping"), this board book for prereaders is really about Steven Holt's outstanding photographs of birds, from an emerald hummingbird drinking deeply from a flower to a seagull nipping another gull's head, and a hilarious image of a high-stepping duck.
"Spectacular photographs combine with tight participle couplets to present a variety of bird behaviors.... The heron 'catching' a fish is worth the price of admission alone, and the 'Birdy jumping' is just fantastic."—Kirkus Reviews
