Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Thanks to Alaska Northwest Books and #LibraryThing for this ARC.
This is a great book.
The illustrations by Evon Zerbetz capture the essences of these birds with bold, striking colors drawn largely to help make details visible. The selection of fowl is interesting and enticing including the Willow Ptarmigan and the Arctic Tern.
The text, in verse, is excellent. The content is not diminished to attain the rhyming couplets and the language remains elevated retaining ornithological terms. Consider the following rhyming pairs...
Something scares them - up they fly.
Their murmuration sweeps the sky.
Also...
He felt at home! Content to be
Pelagic - born for life at sea.
And...
A specialized toenail helps her to groom -
A pectinate claw that she combs through each plume.
In summary, this book is beautiful, educational, and lyrical. Absolutely excellent.… (altro)
