Clear, live­ly text describes the phys­i­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics and anato­my of swans and dis­cuss­es where they live, what they eat, and how they raise their young.

Behind the Book

“Some­times I trav­el to the far cor­ners of the world to observe the ani­mals I write about, but not for this book. I was able to watch two pairs of mute swans nest and raise their cygnets at a near­by reservoir.”

Reviews

“Swans and Rab­bits by Melis­sa Stew­art … pack in details and col­or suit­able for both leisure read­ing and reports, and will make for very basic col­lec­tion addi­tions per­fect for high-inter­est lend­ing, dis­play, and use.” (Chil­dren’s Book­watch)

“These sol­id, smooth­ly writ­ten intro­duc­tions are com­pelling for their well-orga­nized and attrac­tive­ly for­mat­ted pre­sen­ta­tion … [they are] infor­ma­tive, and the writ­ing is quite good.“ (School Library Jour­nal)
