In the late 1800s, the roseate spoonbill was on the brink of extinction in North America. This large bird was hunted for its beautiful pink-and-white feathers, which were used to make hats and fans. However, conservationists and government agencies stepped in to help, and their efforts helped the roseate spoonbill population recover. The birds' future survival depends on protecting their habitat in the Gulf Coast region.
In Roseate Spoonbill: Pretty in Pink, kids go on a real-life adventure with scientists in the field as they study these magnificent wild birds. Interactive features such as pop-up word definitions, text highlighting and note taking, multi-touch zoom, and interactive study cards deliver an experience beyond the printed book.
