The Mystery of a True-Life Quest Beautifully Captured,
By Teal Monet Fant (Houston, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Woods Bird: An Ivory-bill Story (Paperback)
This book captures the spirit of the quest for the ivory-billed woodpecker: the hope, the faith, the love of nature. It delighted my daughter with its stunning art depicting the Big Woods of eastern Arkansas, catchy rhythm, beautiful descriptions, and especially its teasing way of letting the reader catch glimpses of this bird, until quite recently considered extinct, while the bird seeker in the story looks the other way. The author is truly the one to write such a book, married as she is to David Luneau, the scientist who finally caught the woodpecker on tape, putting the entire team of skilled ivory bill searchers center stage in the news April 2005. I especially liked the fascinating notes and gorgeous photos in the end pages, and think they could easily be developed into a second book for older children!

Excellent Illustrations, Great Verse!,

This review is from: Big Woods Bird: An Ivory-bill Story (Paperback)
The images on the site of the illustrations don't come close to the actual quality of the artwork.This book gives children something that is not only wonderful to look at, but relates to a real-world event about conserving our natural resources. Good for bird lovers and young children!
