review 1: Birds have been extinct since 2031, but fear not, Aviary Wonders Inc. can fulfill your aviary needs. This is their 32 page Spring Catalog, in which you can browse through bird parts - feathers, beaks, legs, etc - and make your very own custom bird. The catalog includes instructions for feeding and care of the new arrival, home assembly, teaching your bird to fly and sing, and an important trouble shooting guide. Sold? There is an order form at the end you can use to get one of your very own.What a fabulous and scary premise! This is a picture book for elementary/middle school age readers, and is an informative and colorful introduction to birds, environmental adaptations, and extinct and endangered species.
review 2: Aviary Wonders Inc. by Kate SamworthClarion ... moreBooks, 2014Fantasy32 pagesRecommended for grades 2+I first came across this on another blogger's Monday post. Immediately I was drawn to the beautiful cover art, and being a bird lover I just typed in the title and requested the book through the library.Well...I blindly opened this one up only to be terrified!! Ugh, what a sad dose of reality covered in layers of beauty and fantasy.Just in case you are like I was, totally unaware of this book's premise, it is a catalog for people to order bird parts to create their very own living bird. Choose the body, the legs, the coloring, etc. Since we've lost so many species, and are still doing so, Aviary Wonders Inc. began supplying the world with "design and build your own" birds in 2031.Though the book looks fun and fanciful, the saddest page for me was the page showing the bird body as it arrives-no parts yet attached, holes where the beak and legs will attach.A wonderful book to read and discuss with children. less
