A TALE THAT TAKES FLIGHT
It’s important to distinguish fact from fiction, but that’s not something to worry about when it comes to this book! The pieces of information Pattison gathered regarding Wisdom and her many endeavors of survival have been carefully and critically reviewed by the scientists who work in the field. With the solid foundation this information Pattison gathered it from, this makes for a wonderful bird book for kids!
Besides having real world facts, there’s also real-world pictures! Illustrated by the talented Kitty Harvill, Wisdom’s story comes to life in vivid detail. Using original photos as his reference, Harvill created illustrations reflective of the wild tropical island environment. Through these pictures, your students will gain an accurate understanding and perception of what exactly these birds look like and the conditions in which they live. With these pictures in mind, your students will finish this book with an accurate impression of the events throughout Wisdom's life. Looking for more facts about Wisdom and her fellow albatrosses?
