3.0 out of 5 stars
Good-hearted, but not quite inspirational,
By Matt Hetling "Matt" (Bethel, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birdman of St. Petersburg (Hardcover)
This is an odd little book, chronicling the efforts of Ralph T. Heath, Jr. to make a contribution to nature by raising and releasing orphaned birds. His efforts eventually led to the founding of the Suncost Seabird Sanctuary, which has handled thousand of animals and really made an impact on the local wildlife of Florida's Gulf Coast.
I'm not sure that Heath's story is presented in enough depth, or if there's enough story to justify, an actual book, but the target is younger readers, so I suppose only the basics were included to keep things more simple. This is an earnest approach to educating youngsters, but I think it would have to be a rare and special child who would get the message that the author intends. There should be more detailed information about the hands-on care that the various birds receive. However, the end of the book contains some valuable information about how to handle orphaned wildlife birds, and children and adults alike would be better off for having read this particular section.
