Overview / 简介: |
Early morning and a ruffle of feathers,
A shadow gliding through the backyard.
High above your house Father Hawk circles, sharp eyes searching for prey. From the front porch, you watch.
Swoosh!
He dives after chipmunks, crows, sparrows, squirrels.
Screech!
The sun sets low in the sky.
What’s for dinner? |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| “[Hawk Rising] has a more naturalistic tone, even as the awesomeness of the central bird of prey makes the book read intensely, in the manner of a ghost story. … The prose is not cute, but instead informative and painterly: ‘Black talons curving onto wood. Hooked beak, sharp as a knife. Head turning. Eyes searching. Chicks waiting.’ Gianferrari admirably doesn’t shy away from precise language… The hawk doesn’t just fly and attack, he rides the wind ‘like a wave, twisting and turning, kiting and floating.’
Children’s stories about predators generally either choose to make the predator a villain, or to somehow obscure the predator’s way of life. ‘Hawk Rising’ does something more honest and more interesting — it simply watches.” |
