Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 3--Fourteen Alaskan birds come to life in this exquisite book. Each creature is featured through details about its appearance, demeanor, habitats, adaptations, and more. Ewing crafts poetry to share facts about each type of fowl, from the American Dipper to the Yellow Warbler. The verses charmingly educate readers about native birds. Ewing, an experienced author of naturalist topics, weaves the poems into melodic informational texts. Paired with fellow Alaskan Zerbetz, the two create an attractive view of their local wildlife. The lino-cut art is bright and enhances the personality of each bird. VERDICT A handsome spotlight on these feathered friends, this is recommended for nonfiction collections and fans of wildlife.--Brittany McMahon
