Illustrated by
Wendell Minor.
Glorious paintings illustrate this satisfying story of the attempts to save the American bald eagle from extinction. George provides a short history of the species and the threat to its existence from DDT pesticide. A young boy who watches over an experiment where two eagles in Yellowstone adopt a healthy egg imported from Alaska provides structure and personalizes the account.
