Overview
Every season of the year in the Rocky Mountains holds its enchantments. Each yields a different yet equally compelling chance to observe wildlife in its natural state. In this beautiful book, noted wildlife artist Ton Parker depicts the magnificent animals of the Rocky Mountains in their spectacular wilderness settings. Elk and moose, Iynx and cougar, wolf and eagle, bear and loon, in all, 14 species are shown. Each color plate is accompanied by a brief, informative natural history based on Parker's own extensive experience living and painting in the shadow of the Rockies.
Editorials
Children's Literature -
The Rocky Mountains are ripe with wildlife. Ron Parker shows this through both his beautiful paintings of the bird and mammal inhabitants of the region, and his eloquent words. The fourteen paintings displayed in this volume show the beauty of the land and animals across all four seasons; the accompanying text explains each in relation to the other. This is a celebration of nature, and Parker's love of the topic shows in each brushstroke and every word. Includes a list of selected readings for children who find their own naturalist spirits inspired by this book. 1999, Raincoast, Ages 6 to 10, $22.95. Reviewer: Heidi GreenBook Details
