A simple yet
touching story about the small part one boy played in helping the American Bald
Eagle come back from near extinction. The boy always watches his favorite pair
of eagles, when he discovers that the two eggs they laid are crushed, he is upset. How can
this be? What can he do?
While this book
is full of information and doesn't hold back on the realities of the part
humans have played in the situation –it also has this wonderful story that carries
the reader through and brings them up with hope. The artwork is varied in
presentation and interesting. I think this book will be a wonderful addition to
a school library collection and useful in areas such as American symbols,
environmentalism, inspiration, and a nature story. Looks like this book is part
of a series of animal population recovery books, worth looking into further.
