A stunning world—records book of animal flight, by the author—and—illustrator team behind the bestselling Book of Bones!
Meet ten fascinating flyers through a series of superlatives – and guess who's who while learning about airborne animals. From the fastest (white—throated needletail) to the most acrobatic (flying fox bat), and from the best glider (colugo) to the best backward flyer (hummingbird), each master of flight is cleverly depicted in a blueprint—inspired diagram, accompanied by playful, informative text. The stunning page—turn reveal features a full—color illustration and an explanation of what makes each animal's way of flying so special.
