Audubon: Painter of Birds in the Wild Frontier

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jos. A. Smith. Focusing on an eight-year period in Audubon's life, this book underscores his passion for painting detailed, life-size bird portraits. The text creates excitement in some extraordinary moments, such as Audubon's watching trumpeter swans scare away predatory wolves. Smith's illustrations extend the narrative, as when they show Audubon inside a hollow sycamore tree with roosting swifts or painting enthusiastically with both hands.
