Eagle of the Sea

As they did with their immensely popular Atlantic Puffin, Jeff C. Domm and Kristin Bieber Domm have teamed up to create an accessible, engaging picturebook about another famous bird: the bald eagle. Written in the first person, Eagle of the Sea details the life of the most famous American bird. The text describes the eagle's life cycle, hunting prowess and habitat, as well as its special anatomical features like talons and flying feathers. The colorful illustrations are well-researched and accurate; the depictions of eagles soaring through the air, pursuing prey and even swimming are educational and awe-inspiring. Children will especially love Domm's illustrations of eaglets, newly hatched and learning to fly.
