About this book

Meet the fast-running desert birds that chase prey on foot, survive with very little water, and can even hunt rattlesnakes and scorpions.

Roadrunners Book for Kids

ROADRUNNERS! introduces young readers to these remarkable birds through beautiful real photographs and engaging, easy-to-understand facts. Kids will discover how roadrunners use their long legs, strong feet, long tails, and sharp bills to move quickly across dry, open habitats in North and Central America.

Inside you'll discover:

  • How roadrunners can run at speeds of around 20 miles per hour
  • Why they usually prefer running instead of flying
  • How they hunt insects, spiders, lizards, rodents, rattlesnakes, and scorpions
  • How they survive hot, dry environments with very little drinking water
  • How roadrunner pairs build nests, lay eggs, and care for their chicks

Readers will also discover the Greater and Lesser Roadrunner, learn how their long tails help them balance and turn while running, and see their distinctive crests and colorful patches of skin behind the eyes. From sunning themselves on cool mornings to striking prey against the ground, each page reveals another fascinating part of roadrunner life.

This large 8.25" x 8.25" premium photo book uses beautiful full-color real photographs for an exciting educational exploration of roadrunner speed, hunting, desert adaptations, behavior, nesting, and survival.
