Malnor, Carol L., and Fuller, Sandy F. The BLUES Go Extreme Birding (published in 2011 by Dawn Publications, 12402 Bitney Springs Rd., Nevada City, CA 95959). Have you any idea what the fastest moving bird in the world is? Uno, Sammi, Lulu, Bing, and Eggbert, the lovable BLUES, return to answer that question. The BLUES are a band of birds who like to sing. Sammi also loves sports, and when she read about the X-Games in Birding News, she wanted to enter an extreme event. So the five of them go off on a world tour, visiting every continent on earth, to look at some of the current world record-holding birds so that Sammi can find an event to enter.

Beginning in New York City, NY, they see a Peregrine Falcon which is not only the fastest moving bird, but also the fastest animal on earth. On Antarctica, they meet the Emperor Penguin which is the deepest diver. Moving to Australia, they hear the Superb Lyrebird which is the best mimic. Coming to Asia, they find the Bar-Headed Goose of the Himalayas which is the highest flying. In England, which is considered part of Europe, they come across the Barn Owl which has the keenest hearing. Africa brings them to the Ostrich which is the fastest running. And South America is home to the Horned Sungem Hummingbird which has the fastest wingbeats. There are others too. Lulu wants to locate the bird with the pinkest feathers. What is it, and where will it be?

Birds are amazing creatures, and The BLUES Go Extreme Birding is a truly fun way for youngsters to learn more about some of them. Each opening has sidebars with more facts on the subject bird plus further information about related birds. In the back there is a world map with a picture of each bird where it lives, so that you have some geography as well as science. And there are suggestions for activities to do and websites to look at. Also, the Dawn Publications and Blues Go Birding websites have additional resources to download. This is the third in the series, the first two of which, The BLUES Go Birding Across America and The BLUES Go Birding at Wild America’s Shores, I have read and reviewed. The BLUES Go Birding in the Rainforest will be next. ( )
