Reviews

“An accessible introduction to environmental issues. ... The rhythmic main text highlights birds’ needs and what people can do to see that they are met. Insets ... provide specific examples to drive the point home. ... This format ... is effective and engaging ... Bond’s acrylic illustrations depict realistic scenes with a crisp vibrancy. Put this one in the hands of budding scientists, environmentalists and nature lovers.”

“In the lovely jacket art that graces this book, a bird flies across a cityscape at sunset. The image is appropriate for a book that asks readers to consider the ways in which people’s choices affect the lives of North American birds. ... A bibliography is appended. On the end papers, small maps indicate the range of the 24 birds mentioned. With its emphasis on conservation, this is a useful addition to science collections.”
"an excellent title for all library shelves, as it is fun and educational, with great illustrations and relevant, yet simple information."
