More details

The images on this cover are both informative and decorative. Here, birds have been used as a decorative feature, forming a repeating pattern to border the cover. The designer of this book has used the animals on the cover inventively, making a design feature of them by echoing their shapes. The bat with its open wings at the top of the cover reflects the turkey fanning out its wings at the bottom, creating visual links between the animals and providing an interesting cover.
