Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-7-- Arnold turns her pen to the plight of the endangered California Condor. Although she reveals the sad, stunning fact that in 1986 there was but one breeding pair of condors left in the wild, her book is a work of hope as it outlines scientists' attempts to save the bird from extinction. There is background information about the species' 40,000-year-old existence, its size, color, and eating habits. There are descriptions of the growing population, the shooting of the birds for sport, and the terrible scourge of DDT. The excellentfull-color photographs and clear, engaging text are sure to capture the attention of readers; together, they record the daring mission to restore the condor to its rightful place. It would be hard to find better photographs; they show the bird in flight, engaged in courtship, birth, even at home in a giant sequoia tree. This is aimed at an older audience than Saving the Condor (Watts, 1991) by Nancy Schorsch. Its a treasure-trove for the eye and for the heart. --Amy Nunley, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, OH
