—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Togo’s linocut illustrations are beautifully composed, judiciously colored, and observant renderings of the birds and their habitats and help to give life to the factual text (produced in collaboration with the British Royal Society for the Protection of Birds).

Bird watchers from all parts of the world will appreciate this large collection of colorful reduction linocut artwork featuring some of the most majestic birds on our planet…This title is a perfect fit for bird enthusiasts and any artist looking to study representations of the magnificent birds that populate the world around us.

This introduction to some of the world’s most amazing birds—largest wingspan (Wandering Albatross), longest bill (Australian Pelican), most unusual plumage (Great Bird of Paradise), and the furthest nonstop flight (Bar Tailed Godwit)—is a fabulous starting point for nature lovers and bird watchers. Good for browsing and learning about the versatility of birds, recommend for all collections.
