Playfully told in quick, witty verses and illustrated with
gorgeously colored linocut art, Alaska is for the Birds! features
14 feathered friends found across Alaska. "The book features
Zerbetz's signature bold, colorful prints of 14 birds alongside
Ewing's playful poems about each bird." —Ketchikan Daily News
"Fourteen Alaskan birds come to life in this exquisite book. . .
Ewing, an experienced author of naturalist topics, weaves the poems
into melodic informational texts. Paired with fellow Alaskan
Zerbetz, the two create an attractive view of their local wildlife.
The lino-cut art is bright and enhances the personality of each
bird. A handsome spotlight on these feathered friends, this is
recommended for nonfiction collections and fans of wildlife."
—School Library Journal "Fourteen Alaskan birds each get their
own vividly colored linocut print and a jaunty set of 5 rhyming
couplets describing the animal’s physiology, habitat, food, and
behavior. . . Each double page spread is attractively designed,
with the bird taking up one entire page and the poem facing from
the other side. . . Back matter includes a detailed paragraph on
each bird, along with their scientific name and whether they are a
migrant or year-round resident. A glossary of bird words rounds out
this offering, along with decorative endpapers showing silhouettes
of children observing birds." —Youth Services Book Review
