ALA Booklist (Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

Full-color close-up photos of hawks, owls, osprey, and other birds of prey spring from the pages of this flashy volume. The bold and brassy, factoid-filled text is broken into chapters that flow logically from the birds' characteristics and behavior to geography and interactions with humans. Sidebars from the perspective of coauthor Young, an ecologist, offer intermittent glimpses into the life and work of a field scientist, a feature that might pique the interest of budding biologists. A humorous quiz to determine a reader's "bird of prey-sonality," authoritative and child-accessible websites (including webcams in the wild), and a glossary that doubles as a vocab quiz all make this an excellent resource for young researchers, while the pictures and magazine-style layout will captivate casual browsers who may not even realize how fascinating birds of prey can be. An excellent companion to similarly browser-friendly bird books, such as Jonathan Alderfer's National Geographic Kids Bird Guide of North America (2013) and Kim Kurki's National Wildlife Federation's World of Birds (2014).
