Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Peregrine falcons and weasels are natural enemies. It is their nature to hunt each other. In this story, a pair of falcon parents has built a nest in the box set up by a boy who lives in the mountain forest, Sam Gribley. They are raising their young until the eyases are old enough to fly. In the interim, the game is afoot! Baron Weasel plots, falcon parents Oksi and Falco keep watch, and Sam intervenes when all else fails. Their earnest game of hide-and-seek is beautifully-illustrated in rich images that capture the animal life in the forest, the beauty of the Catskill Mountains and the wide, blue sky. Ultimately, the Baron Weasel’s final attack sends the not-so-young baby falcons soaring into their first flight and on to the safety of their natural nesting environment: cliffs with endless vistas. Sam calls out to them to wish them well. This picture book blends fact with story in an entertaining, illuminated presentation of life in the natural world. It would be a good choice for a library collection or a preschool or elementary school story hour. Reviewer: Hazel Buys

From The Critics
The story of Frightful, "legendary peregrine falcon of the Catskills" continues in this visually splendid tale of Frightful's daughter Oski and her encounter with a wily weasel. Sam has built a tall nest box to house his best friend Oski and her two baby falcons. The Baron Weasel is also Sam's friend, known for his mischievous antics. With four little weasels of his own "screeching with hunger," the Baron has his eye on Oski's baby peregrines. Sam doesn't think the Baron can climb the smooth 14-foot pole to reach the nest box, but the clever weasel manages several assaults, each time getting closer to the paralyzed peregrines. Frantically, Oski urges her young to try their wings to fly from the Baron, but the little falcons won't budge. In the end, the Baron gives the baby peregrines the nudge they need. Using gentle humor, George introduces young readers to the realities of wilderness survival. Realistic watercolors capture the luminous grandeur of the Catskills as well as naturalistic details of the lives of its denizens. (Picture book. 4-8)
