Birds from Head to Tail (2018) is filled with gorgeous collage illustrations, just as the cover art promises. The pages pose questions and then answers. The first page reads, “What bird has a head like this?” We see the powerful head of a great horned owl. Its big eyes stare at us. Turn the page and we read a short paragraph with a few facts about this beautiful bird. Turn the page and the text reads, “ What bird has a beak like this?” Turn the page and we see the bird in its entirety, a hummingbird with its long beak dipping into a flower. And so it goes for an eagle eye, kiwi body, tern wings, flamingo legs, blue-footed booby feet, and peacock tail. Each colorful bird appears with some environmental context. Stacey Roderick and Kwanchai Moriya created a brightly colored, eye-catching book.
