The shoebill is an African wading bird that looks so weird, its scientific name actually means "King Whalehead"! In this entertaining book, Professor Oddfeather offers bite-sized facts on the shoebill's habitat, silent hunting techniques, and harsh parenting practice. A "Battle of the Birds" comparison pits the shoebill against a white stork. Downloadable Teacher Notes available.
