(4) K-3 In an unchildlike voice, a boy muses about being a falcon. Though the text and illustrations have a dreamy quality, the bird behavior is accurately portrayed (e.g., hunting and diving behavior). The spare text is matched by careful illustrations, by turns imaginative and detailed, from the falcon's point of view or that of a watcher. An appealing flight of fancy.
