A Nest is Noisy by Dianna Hutts Aston illustrated by Sylvia Long*

The latest book created by this team.
Lots of interesting facts (my sons and I measured  how big a dusky scrubfowl's nest is) with whimsical yet realistic illustrations.
Some of the featured nests are: fox squirrel, American alligator, flamingo, buff-breasted paradise kingfisher and Gourami.
Text features: diagrams, labels, different font, headings, cutaway/cross sections
**Highly, highly recommend.
Strategies: main idea/details, vocab. expansion/word choice
