Summary: Comprehensive & Fascinating book, great for home libary
Comment: This is a comprehensive book filled with fascinating facts & conservation information on the endangered whooping cane. The many full-color photos, illustrations, & charts are very informative.

Information includes socialization, communication, migration, flight formation, habitat, & feeding habits as well as the care & development of young chicks. Physical traits are also detailed including skeleton & feather illustrations.

I found a section on identifying & differentiating cranes, pelicans, geese & other large birds to be very helpful. Another great addition is classification chart listing each crane species, its Latin name & where they live.

The short story of Sadako, folklore, & instructions on folding a paper crane are a real treat & make this book more interesting. The glossary, suggested readings, & places you can contact to help are also great bonuses.
