A Wonderful Book for Children AND Adults:
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous reviewer. This is a charming and well written book that conveys a real love of wildlife and imparts important information on the dangers of 'saving' orphaned wild birds. Learning of the individual personalities of these amusing, complex creatures helps us to view the wild beings that share our planet with deeper appreciation and compassion. A wonderful learning opportunity for children, and funny, too! My 9 year old son LOVES this book.
EXTRAORDINARY BIRD REHAB ACCOUNT NOT JUST FOR KIDS:
THIS SOUNDS LIKE A STORY FOR SMALL KIDS, BUT IT IS FOR ANY AGE AND DESERVES WIDE READING. I AM AN ADULT INTERESTED IN WILDLIFE BUT NO BIRDER. YEARS AGO I SAW THE MCKEEVERS' HOME AND THEIR ARRANGEMENTS FOR WOUNDED AND ORPHANED OWLS. I WAS ASTONISHED AT THEIR ABILITIES AND MODESTY. THE BOOK IS NOT 'CUTE' BUT A FINE PIECE OF WRITING TO SHARE WITH ADULT FRIENDS OR A CHILD. YOU LEARN A LOT. AND YES, IT IS CHARMING.
