The daily life of the fascinating egret is presented using gorgeous photographs and poetry in An Egret’s Day. Each two-page spread features a poem, one or more photos, and a short paragraph elaborating on the information provided in the poem. Readers see an egret catching fish with its sharp beak, preening its snowy white feathers, and flying with its enormous wings. The book introduces young nature lovers to poetry, nature photography, and science, and their appreciation of all three will grow with repeated readings of this beautiful book.
Bonnie says: “The photos in this book show how beautiful the egret is. I learned so much about these cool birds. Did you know they are really great at catching fish?"
