About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing a deep curiosity about the natural world or asks complex questions about how predators survive in the wild. This title serves as a bridge between a traditional science textbook and a high-end art gallery, offering a sophisticated look at the anatomy, behavior, and habitats of raptors. It is an ideal choice for fostering a sense of environmental stewardship and an appreciation for biological precision. While the text is rich with factual information about hunting and flight, the standout feature is the hyper-realistic artwork of Robert Bateman. It encourages children to slow down and observe details, turning a science lesson into a moment of quiet wonder. Best suited for children aged 8 to 12, it respects their growing intellect by using proper terminology and realistic depictions of the food chain without being gratuitously graphic.

The book deals with predation and the food chain. The approach is scientific and secular, presenting death as a natural necessity for survival. It is realistic and matter of fact: animals eat other animals: but it avoids bloodiness in favor of biological accuracy.
