Clear, lively text describes the physical characteristics and anatomy of swans and discusses where they live, what they eat, and how they raise their young.
Behind the Book
“Sometimes I travel to the far corners of the world to observe the animals I write about, but not for this book. I was able to watch two pairs of mute swans nest and raise their cygnets at a nearby reservoir.”
