I never thought of birds having scowls until National Geographic and their friends the Angry Birds decided to point them out. This fun bird digest takes you through a selection of birds Audubon would be proud of. It tells the good and the bad and gives each bird a “rap sheet” (almost like they have been known for prison worthy behavior before).

This first Angry Birds NatGeo book will get kids more interested in real birds, but the future books in this new series are more promising for all ages. This title can be a little weighty (both physically and intellectually) for the younger kids, but just from the cover and the collaboration, kids at my library will make sure it is never on the shelf for very long.
