But it purports to be a catalog of bird parts. It's a cross between science fiction and heavy-handed conservationalism, and also like patterned art. This book is strange and slightly disturbing in parts. The main "wonder" is what kind of drugs the author/illustrator was taking. The students would have to use problem solving strategies to choose the right parts to make the best bird. Students could be given the task to create a bird that could do a specific job or task. Giving students the ability to search through a catalog and make decisions in creating a bird would be a great way to engage students. I thought this book would work really well with a engineering lesson. Therefore, they would have to design their bird wisely so it could survive. Student could be limited to create a bird that only ate fish. For example, certain beaks were made to eat certain food. Students could be challenge to fill out the order form to meet certain requirements. I thought this book would present a good way to integrate science and reading together. In the back of the book there is an order form so that you can order a bird. I think this book may be geared more towards 3rd grade readers however, this could be a fun and interesting read for any 3-5 student. I loved how it showed a back ground of the company and gave you instructions on how to assemble your bird. It was amazing!

Winner of the 2014 Kirkus Prize Literary Award – “Aviary Wonders Inc. Brilliantly illustrated with oil paintings and filled with laugh-aloud asides as well as sobering facts about extinct species, this mock catalog is a clever send-up of contemporary sales spin and a thought-provoking look into an all-too-possible future. The birds can even be taught to fly and to sing! This slyly satirical crafter’s delight is offered as the perfect antidote to extinction of birds in the wild. has offered bird lovers a unique opportunity: Assemble your own bird from stunningly beautiful and carefully hand-crafted parts.
