Today, we read What Makes a Bird a Bird? by May Garelick
Description from Amazon:
"What is the one special thing that makes a bird a bird? Is it flying, or building a nest, or laying eggs? In this beautifully illustrated book, May Garelick poses many questions that lead the reader on an exciting search to find out what makes a bird a bird."
The book was a little long for my 3-year-old, but we got through it. The answer to "What makes a bird a bird?" is feathers, so we made a feather collage:
Carefully putting on the glue
Adding the feathers
The finished product. I wonder how many will end up on the floor instead of stuck to the paper once I hang it on our craft wall? Good thing little man can't get near there because of the baby gate :)

I love the feather collage! Turned out great--thanks for linking up!
That looks like an awesome book! I'm always looking for good non-fiction books. The feather project looks fun, too! :)
I love these Story and Art posts! I can't wait to participate when my little one gets older :)
