The Nature Kid's Guide to Eagles Paperback

Swoosh! A golden eagle folds its wings and dives at 150 miles per hour. It's a golden eagle, and it hits harder than anything else in the sky. If your child has ever looked up and spotted a large bird circling high overhead, this book will show them what that hunter is truly capable of. Eagles can spot a rabbit from two miles away, build nests heavier than a small car, and squeeze with talons stronger than ten human grips combined. One species hunts monkeys in the jungle. Another snatches fish straight off the water. Every page reveals a bird that is more powerful than your child ever imagined. "The Nature Kid's Guide to Eagles" is written for curious kids ages 7-12 who want to know what makes these birds the undisputed kings of the sky. Why does the harpy eagle have claws as big as a grizzly bear's? How did the bald eagle bounce back from near extinction to over 300,000 birds? What makes an eagle's eyesight so extraordinary that it could read a book from across a football field? Your child will find out, and they will not stop talking about it. Short sentences and simple words build reading confidence, while the incredible subject holds attention from first page to last. Chapters cover eight eagle species from around the world, from the massive Philippine eagle to the wedge-tailed eagle soaring over the Australian outback.
