Ably written for young readers by Evelyn Minshull and illustrated by the superb artwork of Andrea Gabriel, Eaglet's World is the powerful story of a bald eaglet, hatched from an egg, who must grow up and accept the challenge of leaving the comfort and safety of his nest. An informative, engaging story, enhanced at the end by a page of facts about bald eagles to educate young readers, Eaglet's World is an ideal and welcome addition to family, school, and community library picture book collections.

While the narrative started out with a murder, it continued at a slow pace. This book isn't a cause for much nail-biting and I wasn't in any hurry to read it but I'm glad I did. The story gets better as you delve into it. Although, the author's style of writing isn't the best and at times, was difficult to follow, she did a good job at tying the scenes and situations together without leaving a "Yah, right-that's impossible!"-feeling to her work. I would like to check out other books written by her. It may surprise you to learn who the real killer is. It didn't surprise me though but I only half-guessed at his/her motive(s). Give it a chance before giving up on it. Thank you, Evelyn.
