Nature’s ongoing battle between the hunter and the hunted is photographically presented in this beautiful children’s book about loons and eagles. While loons are capable of defending themselves from most prey, eagles can present a serious concern for loons and their chicks. This photo book tells the story of a loon family having chicks and helping them in growing up while protecting them from one of the more serious predators, eagles. The story also shows other animals having young, while the main focus is on the loons and eagles. The photography is stunning as the story unfolds through a Michigan summer. While written for children, this book can be enjoyed by all ages. It would make a delightful addition to a cottage as well.
