About this title

Synopsis

This stunning companion to the Oscar-nominated film Winged Migration, includes fifteen tales of bird migration and an audio CD with bird songs and calls.

Reviews

Grade 3-8–This oversized book that is meant to complement Jacques Perrin's documentary film of the same name is clearly a packaged product and does not focus on the film or even specifically on migration. Colorful spreads introduce 15 species with titles that paint a visual picture of the bird (e.g., Common Cranes are "Dancers of the Taiga"). The text includes first-person stories from the birds' perspective, historical tales, mythology, stories from a human's point of view, and some straight nonfiction. Photographs from the film showing birds flying, resting, congregating, and eating surround the text and create a sense of flight throughout the pages. While the book may be fun to dip into, it has little informational value as the maps are crude and confusing and the pictures that tie into fact boxes are too small to be of any use. An accompanying CD, attached to the front page, provides a few minutes of calls for 13 of the species and would be interesting to listen to while browsing, but the cuts on the disk do not follow the order of the book. A brief appended section gives information on the making of the film, including storyboards and photographs of the photographers on location. This title is more appropriate as a gift for young bird-watchers than for libraries.–Susan Oliver, Tampa-Hillsborough Public Library System, FL

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
