Review

Flight Of The Golden Plover: The Amazing Migration Between Hawaii And Alaska takes an in-depth look at the Pacific golden plover, a shorebird that makes one of the greatest annual transoceanic migration on earth. More than a century ago, golden plovers were one of the world's most abundant shorebirds. But they were hunted until their numbers were greatly reduced. In the early 1900s, laws were passed to protect them, and today worldwide populations have stabilized. Flight Of The Golden Plover celebrates their beauty and their extraordinary life cycle. Young readers will share the adventure s of life in an Alaskan and an Hawaiian habitat, and meet the Hawiian goose, nene, and Alaska's musk ox, grizzly bear, saandhill crane, and arctic fox. Flight Of The Golden Plover is spectacularly illustrated with Daniel Van Zyle's artwork. Young bird enthusiasts will find this a compelling review of the incredible migration of the golden plover bird between Hawaii and Alaska. This is the first children's book to examine the plover's annual transoceanic migration: kids will find this a strong, revealing survey of people's observations of the bird. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars The Flight of the Golden Plover, May 24, 2000
By A Customer
This is an outstanding narrative for reading aloud to second graders studying Alaska, birds, or migration. It's inspiring, well-written, and full of powerful vocabulary. Lovely, realistic watercolor illustrations.
