Editorial Reviews
Review
Booklist : "Report writers (will) come away much more informed. Each volume in this new series is a well-written, well-organized, thorough look at how a creature hunts, catches, and devours its food, which, as it happens, encompasses a lot of natural history territory. The series format is attractive: slightly enlarged type, clear paragraph headings allow for quick access, and many illustrations. The content is excellent, and kids will come away not only more knowlegeable but also more respectful of the other animals that share our planet."
-- Booklist (October 2001)
School Library Journal : "These series titles offer solid information."
-- School Library Journal (June 2002)
School Library Journal : "The books could be supplemental titles for general reports or useful additions for pleasure reading by kids who enjoy nature shows and books."
-- School Library Journal (June 2002)
Library Talk : "The descriptive text and color photos will hold interest."
-- Library Talk (March-April 2002)
Library Talk : "Teachers might also find the books useful as examples of tightly organized narratives for graphic organization projects. Recommended."

Book Description
Streaking across the sky in pursuit of prey, falcons are the fastest flyers in the animal world. These agile predators are supremely adapted for performing high-speed, aerial attacks on other birds. After decades of decline, many falcon populations are now rebounding. Some falcons have adopted cities as home and hunting grounds, trading cliff-faces for high-rise buildings as perches for launching their hunts.
