Cranes

With its long neck, long legs, and flamboyant mating-dance moves, the crane is one striking bird. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the animal's anatomy, vocalization skills, hunting and feeding habits, life cycle, and chick care. Its wetland habitat is described, too. A story from World War II Japan explains the connection between the folding of origami cranes and wishes coming true.
