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."

Library Talk : "Teachers might also find the books useful as examples of tightly organized narratives for graphic organization projects. Recommended."

Book Description
Part of the Nature's Predators series from KidHaven Press, Eagles explores the fascinating world of these powerful raptors. Readers learn about the various groups of eagles and what physical attributes help make each group skillful hunters in the wild. Next, they join eagles on the hunt, discovering the special flying and hunting skills eagles exhibit in different environments. In addition to illustrating how eagles finally kill and eat their prey, this text also teaches young readers about the ways in which eagles themselves have become prey in the wild and what is being done to save them.
