Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

"This eminently approachable book gives eloquent testament to the first pair of California condors to return to the wild since 1987," said PW. Ages 3-8.
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 3-A brief tale that explains how two California condors successfully hatch an egg in spite of a raging thunderstorm that threatens its security. Information on the environmental pressures that brought the animal to the brink of extinction is included in a few paragraphs that follow the narrative. London's style borders on the poetic, which suits the grandeur of his subject, the largest and rarest bird in North America. The book concludes with a list of six places to write for further information about California condors. Chaffee's watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations highlight the action; they feature many visually arresting scenes and closeups of the bald, red-headed condor parents and their scraggly chick. The drama inherent in the emergence and survival of the young guarantees that this story will hold the interest of young children; older readers who understand the plight of the species will appreciate the book on a deeper level. A valuable addition for libraries of any size.

3.0 out of 5 stars Condor's Egg, April 20 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Condor's Egg (School & Library Binding)
This book contains beautiful illustrations. The minimal text is motivational for children who are discouraged by pages filled with words. However,the vocabulary is not easy and is definitely not for a beginning reader without support. Very informational.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Poetic, Perhaps to a Fault, Jan 19 2008
By Daniel J. Jensen "gawia" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Condor's Egg (Paperback)
I might have given this a 3.5, had I the choice. This book is very pleasing to the eye. The poetic nature of the language may be too much for young readers, but the vocabulary itself is not terribly difficult. A sample:

"Companion of the sun and wind,
friend of the wild mountain silence"

P.S.: my 5 year-old really likes it.
