As a summer dawn breaks over a northern lake, two distinctive calls echo across the water. First comes the unforgettable tremolo of a common loon, then the hoot of the common nature lover: Oh, look! Baby loons! Photographer and writer F. C. West, a nature lover herself, has produced Oh Look! Baby Loons!, a book that both delights and educates young readers about these beloved waterfowl.
West's 55 captivating color photographs put readers in the water beside the young birds a rare treat, due to the birds shy nature. She captures cozy scenes most never get to see, from babies snacking while riding on their parents backs, to young ones mimicking their parents' wing stretches, to a juvenile loon's first takeoff. West also brings the loons habitat to life with beautiful scenic images of the surrounding forest and portraits of nearby wildlife. Entertaining and educational text accompanies the photographs, helping children understand the significance of each step in the chicks' upbringing. Oh Look! Baby Loons! will appeal to curious nature lovers of all ages.
