School Library Journal (04/01/2009)
Gr 5 UpWith marvelously detailed pop-up spreads and high-quality sound, this look at various avian ecosystems is absolutely spectacular. Double-page sections depict the environmental characteristics and native species of the following North American habitats: the Sonoran Desert; a Pacific seabird colony; an eastern deciduous forest; the Arctic tundra; a cypress swamp; grasslands; and the Pacific rain forest. The paper sculptures, filled with colorful and realistic renderings of flora and local birdlife, are accompanied by a soundtrack of the species' calls and songs recorded (in stereo) from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library collection. Brief paragraphs call attention to each scene's visual and aural highlights, while a fold-down flap presents a chart that identifies the birds by their location in the picture and on the recording. Additional information about the habitats and species is appended. This sonorous, if pricey, selection provides a breathtaking entry into the world of birding, and might find a place in libraries that cater to museum and science educators."Joy Fleishhacker, School Library Journal" Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
