Mom's Review

Omnibird is an absolutely fantastic overview of all things bird. With a humorous tone that explains everything from bill vs. beak to the hole the eggs come out of to flight to to to... Any question I can think of is address in this fun nonfiction, oversized children's book, even questions like, "Could you ride an ostrich?" (Not technically impossible, but also not a realistic expectation.) The colorful two-page spreads with chunked text and bold titles for each subject encourage exploration. You could certainly read this cover to cover, but it is more suited to jumping around and flipping through. Young readers can engage with the different features at whatever level fits them. Omnibird is excellent for nature-minded or curious kiddos.
