Herons are a big group of birds that include egrets and bitterns. While most birds fly with necks outstretched, herons pull in their long necks while airborne. Their long legs and long beaks are perfect for fishing in shallow water. Carefully controlled text and excellent photos will have early readers flocking to these amazing birds.

A search-and-find feature makes this book a fun treat. Picture prompts and an ending quiz build new vocabulary and create a successful foundation for emergent readers.
