| Paulsen's choice of the word, SONG--see WOODSONG and DOGSONG--goes beyond the expected audible and musical implications, for it embodies man and animals' in-touch-ness with static and living aspects of the natural world. Less a cohesive story with a clearly defined plot and anticipated character development this book reveals the author's reflective observations of his own maturation--as a musher and as a human being. With gritty honesty Paulsen chronicles the painful and often humiliating earning ... Read More: |

| Clocking in at over 550 pages, The Sight is a long, but great tale of imaginative fiction. Set in the middle ages and starring a cast of wolves, this story follows the coming of age of a white she-wolf name Larka. Along her journey to understand a power that she has been born with called The Sight, she learns not only of her place in the world, but of man's connection to it as well.

| The institutional review coming with this page says: "Grade 5-10-Done in typical "Eyewitness" format, this volume touches upon such topics as Chinese history, the first emperor, inventions, health and medicine, waterways, food and drink, clothing, the Silk Road, and arts and crafts. Material from as recent as the last dynasty, which ended in 1912, is included. . . ." That summarizes nicely--both the age group for whom this book is intended and for the wide range of issues considered.
As such, the book works pretty well. As with all in this ... Read More: |

| This book is an easily accessible introduction to earth science. It is an easy reader for children in second, third or fourth grade, It would also work well for English learners. It is informative, sympathetic, includes history, references Pliny, the historian, and yet maintains inerest. I have used it on 2nd, 3d, and 4th grade classes and all return to the book to read on their own. |
