for discussing human effects on the environment: statements about
the problems birds encounter are accompanied by handsome, realistic
paintings" —School Library Journal
"A useful addition to science collections" —Booklist

and engaging. . . Bond's acrylic illustrations depict realistic
scenes with a crisp vibrancy. Put this one in the hands of budding
