An informative and entertaining introduction for young children to the amazing birds that live near water in all types of habitats. In this addition to the About. . . series, award-winning author Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what waterfowl are, where they live, what they eat, and how they move. John Sill' s detailed, full-color illustrations show the characteristics of different types of waterfowl-from the Trumpeter Swans of northwestern North America to the Bar-headed Geese of central Asia. Young learners who may only be familiar with the ducklings and geese on local ponds and lakes will be delighted to discover the amazing variety of waterfowl in the world. A glossary and afterword provide further fascinating details about waterfowl that will inspire readers to learn more.
