Each profile adds species information alongside the imagery, making this a compact blend of visual presentation and nature reference.

Book overview

This astounding book comes alive to bring you up close and personal with eight different bird species. Using Photicular technology--an innovative lenticular-based technology that uses precision sliding lenses and four-color video imagery--each image is like a 3D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid, immersive visual experience. Penguins hop, Grebes dance in an elaborate courtship ritual, lovebirds preen, the eyes of an owl blink, geese migrate in V formation, a hummingbird sips nectar from a flower, and a mother songbird feeds its new hatchlings.

Seeing is believing with the innovative and bestselling Photicular books, and now Birds gives readers a fascinating view of bird behavior in living motion.

The opening essay focuses on bird behaviors--the weird, and the surprising. The profile accompanying each animal image includes information on each species. It's an aviary that you can hold in your hands!
