Pamela F. Kirby's WHAT BLUEBIRDS DO (9781590786147, $18.95) follows a backyard bird's routines and uses color photos and easy text to capture the bird's life from nest to adulthood. The gorgeous bluebird photos invite kids to learn about their own backyard residents. Laurence Pringle's ALLIGATORS AND CROCODILES! STRANGE AND WONDERFUL (9781590782569, $16.95) tells of the crocs and alligators who outlived dinosaurs and went on to evolve to modern creatures, packing bright drawings throughout. From baby alligators that call to their mothers inside their eggs to grown crocs and gators, this is an excellent survey, paired with Meryl Henderson's realistic drawings throughout.
