Ostrich: The World's Biggest Bird (Supersized)
by Natalie Lunis

The ostrich is the world's biggest bird, all right! It stands taller than the tallest basketball player. Its kick can kill a lion! It can run faster than most land animals! But, there is something it can't do. Do you know what that is? In Ostrich: The World's Biggest Bird, you will learn lots of things you didn' t know about this colossal bird! The photographs are awesome, too!

Big, well spaced print makes this book friendly to a wide variety of ages! Grandpa can learn a thing or two, also!
