For the Birds: The Life of Roger Tory Peterson

40 pp. | Boyds/Calkins | November, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59078-764-9 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Laura Jacques. Thomas provides a wordy but fact-filled narrative about the life of naturalist Roger Tory Peterson, creator of the pioneering Field Guide to the Birds. Through hard work and encouragement, his childhood interest in nature and art grew into a lifelong commitment to the natural world. Synthetic-looking mixed-media illustrations work better showing the colorful birds than people. Websites. Bib.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
