Least of These: Wild Baby Bird Rescue Stories

By Joan Harris and Jane Goodall

Book Overview

Author/artist Joan Harris shares inspiring stories, sprinkled with humor and fascinating natural history information in THE LEAST OF THESE. As she did in her award-winning ONE WING'S GIFT: RESCUING ALASKA'S WILD BIRDS, Joan brings these gangly, delicate babies to life on the page in meticulously detailed, Audubon-like drawings. From Hurlly, a fuzzy, so-ugly-it's-cute baby buzzard, to impressive adult birds portrayed in spot art for reference, these drawings (and their accompanying stories) make this book an ideal gift for bird lovers of all ages. Included is an appendix of bird rescue centers and information on what to do if you find a baby bird.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful artwork

This is really a child level book - the stories are simple retellings of the animal's rescue on one page per animal. But the artwork is superb! It is on display in the bird room at our animal rescue center.

Wild Baby Bird Rescue Stories

This is a wonderful book for adults and children who love birds. The pictures of the baby birds are excellent and the stories about them are easy to read and tell of the wonderful people who care so much for our feathered friends.
