What Makes a Bird?

Megan Pomper, illustrated by Maia Hoekstra

A child explores a question that seems simple: what defines a bird? Feathers, beaks, eggs, and flight each offer possible answers, but other animals share some of those traits, while penguins remain birds despite not flying. As the questions continue, the book considers how people sort and identify the living world. It combines information about birds with an invitation to stay curious about animal classification.
