The Earth is home to thousands of species of birds. This fact-filled coloring book introduces 30 of the most fascinating. From the Andean condor, with its wingspan of nearly eleven feet, to the tiny bee hummingbird, weighing in at less than an ounce, these remarkable birds come in all sizes and colors. Nature artist Ruth Soffer provides accurate, ready-to-color images of the roadrunner, the great hornbill, the emperor penguin, the blue-footed booby, the Raggiana bird of paradise, the European bee-eater, and other intriguing feathered creatures.
In addition to illustrating books for Dover, Ruth Soffer has also done work for other major publishing houses. An artist specializing in natural science subjects, she lives in Brooklyn, New York.
