Forever...forever...Those are Eaglet's thoughts from the time he describes being inside his egg all the way through his soaring flights. What a wonderful story! Beautiful illustrations help the young reader "see" how the bird looks inside an egg, how the nest becomes too small for everyone, how the eaglet's feathers fluff up in the wind, and how the world might look from an eagle's view. Stunning!

Eaglet describes many of life's lessons. He wishes each comfortable step of his life would stay the same forever. Then he realizes his life needs to change and he finds out the next step is wonderful too. The lessons ring true for everyone and are explained clearly even to a younger reader. This is a book to be read on many different levels and is worth every one of them.

Eaglet's World is a wonderful book about both the hatching of an eaglet, and what it might feel like to "launch" out into the world. Children and adults can relate to this idea, as well as become informed about the birth to flight life of an eagle! Grand illustrations as well and memorable story.

"Eaglet's World" is written by Evelyn Minshull and illustrated by Andrea Gabriel. The book tells the story of a baby eagle--from his time inside the egg, to hatching, and to his first flight.

The lovely text has an appealing poetic rhythm. And it's superbly complemented by the joyous, beautiful illustrations. Overall, a children's book that effectively celebrates and educates about the beauty of nature.

Ably written for young readers by Evelyn Minshull and illustrated by the superb artwork of Andrea Gabriel, Eaglet's World is the powerful story of a bald eaglet, hatched from an egg, who must grow up and accept the challenge of leaving the comfort and safety of his nest. An informative, engaging story, enhanced at the end by a page of facts about bald eagles to educate young readers, Eaglet's World is an ideal and welcome addition to family, school, and community library picture book collections.
