Reach for this book when your child is transfixed by a dragonfly in the garden or wonders how a heavy airplane stays in the sky. It is the perfect bridge for a child who is transitioning from simple animal picture books to more complex scientific inquiry. Through Steve Jenkins' signature cut-paper collage and Robin Page's clear prose, the book explains the mechanics of flight across the animal kingdom. Beyond just identifying birds and bugs, the text delves into the physics of lift and the evolutionary adaptations of wings. It nurtures a sense of wonder while respecting the child's intellect. While the concepts are sophisticated, the visual presentation makes it accessible for early elementary students and deeply engaging for older kids who love technical details. It is an ideal choice for fostering a scientific mindset and a deeper appreciation for the natural engineering found in our own backyards.
