All of the sentences are short and similar in structure.  Spectacular photographs match the text directly and labels add additional information.  Bold face is used for emphasis.  Coloured type adds interest, for example green type for the word green.  The book concludes with an index.

The high frequency word is his.  Interest words include feathers, beak, and face.  The compound word grasshopper is used.
