    About this ebook

    As an adult, John Audubon was the best known wildlife artist of the 19th century, and his book, Birds of America, is the standard against which all subsequent bird art has been measured. In this story about the artist's childhood in the West Indies and France, John's love of drawing sends him into the fields and woods near his country house in pursuit of winged models. Games and adventures also beckon: John confronts a ghost in the old water mill tower, presents his friend Cecile with a surprise birthday gift (that goes horribly wrong!), and sails off to seek his fortune in America. Special features include a summary of John's adult accomplishments, fun facts detailing little-known information about him, and a time line of his life.

      This book is a biography of John Audubon, a young naturalist. He lived in Haiti till one day, his father, Captain Audubon, said he was going to France. His new nanny, Maman Anne, was very nice. He enjoyed France and liked to go outside and explore. He was very fond of birds. HI father noticed his skill at drawing birds and sent him to the United States in the hope of finding more interesting birds. This book described John Audubon's quest at drawing all of the birds in the USA. I liked this book because I learned who John Audubon was. From this book I learned that you should always make a goal and do your best to achieve it. John Audubon achieved his goal of drawing the birds of North America. I learned many interesting things in this book like he was the first one to use "bird banding." This is how he knows if the birds return to the same nesting place. I like nature so I enjoyed reading this biography. I recommend this book to students who like nature and birds.
