School Library Journal - 05/01/2025 PreS-Gr 4—A light observation of natural science, delving into just how many things have wings. It begins with a little whimsy as winged children prepare readers for the journey. It then zooms out, revealing nature scenes with fun rhyming clues about the mystery wing owner's traits, before zooming in and to spotlight whose wings they are. It's not limited to living creatures either, expanding understanding of what wings can be. Each description is intensely sensory, capturing the sound and feel of the bewinged objects. Hummingbirds thrum, katydids trill, all against lovely colored skies, lush gardens, and shadowy forests. Readers get immersed in the quiet world. The back matter expands the explanations, going over each winged thing and the physics of how their wings operate. VERDICT A creative and enlightening book. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
