The world's biggest bird, the ostrich, shines in this leveled reader that reinforces key vocabulary with a search-and-find feature. Ostriches are record holders in a bunch of ways. They are the only birds with two toes that seem more like hooves, which helps them be the fastest land animal on two legs. They have the biggest bird eyes, too, which happen to be larger than their brains! Carefully controlled text and excellent photos will have early readers flocking to these big birds.A search-and-find feature makes this book a fun treat. Picture prompts and an ending quiz build new vocabulary and create a successful foundation for emergent readers.

      K-Gr 2-Strong visual content and simple text introduce these larger representatives of the avian world. Two or three short sentences per spread direct readers toward the accompanying photograph, with minimal statements ("Look at that sharp bill"), or questions ("See the mud nests?"). The basic level of information is appropriate for the intended audience of new readers while the eye-catching photos add a more engaging element. Each photo spans a full two-page spread. Some depict the bird in the wild, while others show its body set off clearly against a white background. The images effectively highlight particular features and behaviors such as the ostrich's eyelashes and the mating dance of the crane. VERDICT Accessible and appealing nonfiction choices for new readers.
