Calling all birders! The creators of the award-winning About Habitats and About... series offer a first glimpse into the world of woodpeckers.

This appealing volume introduces young learners to the many kinds of woodpeckers. With the help of the beautifully detailed illustrations from noted wildlife illustrator John Sill, About Woodpeckers explains the basic characteristics that all woodpeckers share, while presenting a closer look at the many types of birds that fall into this diverse category. An afterword provides more details for curious young naturalists.

Ideal for casual exploration as well as for early childhood and elementary science units on animals.
