"An excellent addition to the 'sense of wonder' shelf."—<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br /><br />"Biographical information, touching on such things as [Peterson's] three marriages, is appended, along with a note on The Peterson Effect, which helped people better appreciate the plight of birds and other animals. Thomas's prose and Jacques's art work in tandem to rescue Peterson from obscurity for this age range." —<i><b>School Library Journal</b></i><br /><br />"Weaving many avian metaphors into the text, Thomas creates an interesting and informative portrait of Peterson." —<i><b>Booklist</b></i>
Winner of the John Burroughs Nature Books for Young Readers Award
Here is the first children's biography of Roger Tory Peterson, a a global environmentalist who revolutionized the way we look at and appreciate birds, animals, and plants.
To some, he was "Professor Nuts Peterson" because of his dedication to his craft. Yet Roger Tory Peterson went on to create the immensely popular Peterson Guides, which have sold more than seven million copies, and which birders everywhere appreciate for their simple text and exquisite illustrations. Working closely with the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, New York, author Peggy Thomas and artist Laura Jacques have created a fascinating portrait of this great naturalist.
