The birds of the world squabble about who can fly the highest, and the owl devises a contest to settle the question. "The prose flows smoothly enough," wrote PW, "and the illustrations of the winged creatures are meticulously crafted." Ages 5-8. (Sept.)

Endearing and classic story,

This review is from: Eagle and the Wren (Hardcover)
This writing by Jane Goodall will find itself a classic for all times. It has the endearing charm of the classic children's stories; however, it has appeal for child and the child within to last for the ages. A must read ... read for yourself and read to your child.
