PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- The newest book from the talented Tasmanian artist gives 28 birds from around the world a double-paged spread, with remarkable information on one and beautifully rendered illustrations on the other. From the bird with poison feathers to the one that has mammalian characteristics, the one that cools down in a decidedly unusual way to the one that has the blackest feathers on earth, or the one who uses its feet to groom itself because its beak is too long to the one with the call so low humans can barely hear it, this showcases an amazing array of avian abilities and features. A book for bird-lovers of all ages! Lindy
