Description

Bright colors and energetic illustrations pop off the pages of the Mrs. Peanuckle's Alphabet series, which invites our youngest readers to discover the vegetables and fruits (Fall 2017) and the flowers and bugs (Winter 2018) of the natural world. From the albatross to the zebra finch, Mrs. Peanuckle pulls out her binoculars and introduces toddlers to 26 species of birds from all around the world. Described by a single interesting fact or defining characteristic, each bird proves to be as unique and surprising as the one before. Ever wonder why flamingoes are pink It's all those shrimp they eat. Are there birds that can fly backward Yes, but hummingbirds are the only ones! With colorful, dynamic art, and attention-grabbing text, Mrs. Peanuckle's birds fly off the page, and in some cases, into the parks and backyards of the children and adults reading this book. Mrs. Peanuckle's Bird Alphabet is the fifth title in a series of board books celebrating the joy of nature at home and in the backyard, from fresh fruits and vegetables to birds, bugs, and trees.
