|  | The Impossible Bird by Patrick O'Leary
Daniel, a settled-down professor, is charged by the eerie Mr. Takahashi to track down his brother, Michael, a precocious commercial director, or else Takahashi will have Daniel's son, Sean, killed. Also approached by Takahashi, Michael is ordered to track Daniel down, under threat of death. The two also find out they are dead and that they have been resurrected into an incomplete virtual version of their former world--a place without suffering, hunger, or death--created by aliens. The brothers' commitment to each other and to the various factions of the resurrected is tested and fleshed out in multiple story lines. AUTHOR: Patrick O'Leary

 | Rainforest Birds by Bobbie Kalman
The brightly colored hornbill often follows troops of monkeys through the rainforest to make a meal of the pieces of fruit dropped by the munching primates. From the familiar scarlet-plumed macaw to the lesser-known monkey-eating eagle, Rainforest Birds introduces the intriguing aspects of jungle habitats and the various species of unique and beautiful birds that live there. Brilliant, full-color photographs feature such birds as pheasants and carrasows who live on the forest floor and fly very little; hummingbirds and parrots whose dazzling markings act as camouflage among the colorful flowers of the forest's understory; and raptors such as eagles, owls and falcons who hunt for prey in the treetops of the canopy. The easy-to-read text describes the eating and breeding habits of these birds and how the exotic bird trade and the destruction of the world's rainforests are threatening their existence.
