Seabird: A Newbery Honor Award Winner

I had all of Holling Clancy Holling's books as a young man growing up in Canada and never ever forgot them. Now as an old man with a teenage son I wanted him to read, experience and enjoy HCH's writing. Also purchased was Paddle to the Sea. And will also buy Minn of the Mississippi and Tree in the Trail in due course. Beautiful books, well written, and exquisite and exceptionally beautiful drawings. All lovely stories.

Sweet story.

What a book.

Excellent book, highly recommended.

Contains very graphic, bloody and horrible full page illustrations of a whale hunt and slaughter, complete with dismemberment of the animal. Hideous, and very much not for young children. Also, commensurate with its publication date, it's racist. If you loved Paddle-to-the Sea and are looking for something similar, this ain't it.

Lovely book. have not read it yet, but it looks like a very good book for little ones to sink their imagination caps in.
