Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This book is really long. It is telling multiple stories at once. It is about a family who plants native species in their yard to attract the birds and butterflies, and the kids waiting to see a specific type of bird - the Cerulean Warbler. It is also the story of the Cerulean Warbler who has to cross hundreds of miles of sea to get to his destination and all the bumps and bruises along the way. It also wants to be a non-fiction story telling the reader true facts about birds and what they can do to help their populations. Over all the story is nice and the illustrations while at times seem dated, they also at times seem fun and lively. For this reader, this story jumps between stories too often and tries to be all to everyone. I like it, but it has been done better. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
In early April, as Owen and his sister search the hickories, oaks, and dogwoods for returning birds, a huge group of birds leaves the misty mountain slopes of the Yucatan peninsula for the 600-mile flight across the Gulf of Mexico to their summer nesting grounds. One of them is a Cerulean warbler. He will lose more than half his body weight even if the journey goes well. Aloft over the vast ocean, the birds encourage each other with squeaky chirps that say, "We are still alive. We can do this." Owen's family watches televised reports of a great storm over the Gulf of Mexico, fearing what it may mean for migrating songbirds. In alternating spreads, we wait and hope with Owen, then struggle through the storm with the warbler. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
