About the Author
JIM ARNOSKY has written ninety-eight books about wildlife and nature for children, and has been awarded the American Association for the Advancement of Science Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in science illustration. When he and his wife are not travelling and exploring nature, they live in Vermont.
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4?Arnosky's curiosity about wildlife has once again resulted in a wonderfully enticing book for young naturalists. Just as he did in All about Alligators (Scholastic, 1994), he draws readers in with a life-sized six-page spread?this time depicting a Great-horned Owl. The conversational tone of the text is simple but never condescending, with a logical flow that covers owl biology and behavior while focusing on the species that live in North America. The detailed watercolors will charm even the staunchest fans of nature photography. The display of a dozen owls from different habitats drawn to scale, the insets that describe their eyes or fetuses?these are the illustrations that bring science alive. The owl swooping through a dark forest, its calls haunting the night?these are the paintings that will appeal even at story time. If you're looking for strong photography, pair this with Michael George's Owls (Child's World, 1992). But for easy nonfiction with style and charm, it's all about Arnosky.?Susan Oliver, Hillsborough County Science Library at MOSI, Tampa, FL
