About this Book: |
|
Ospreys are amazing creatures. They mate for life, return to the same spot every year to build their nest, and are dedicated parents. This book is about an osprey couple and their three chicks. Two of them do everything right. The third, Ralph, however, is reluctant to try anything. When a hurricane hits the Outer Banks, he may change his mind.

We can learn so much from observing nature. This book demonstrates the unique and special qualities that ospreys possess in an engaging and entertaining way. The endearing main character, Ralph, is slow to want change. By the time the climax of the story arrives you will be on edge to see how he survives. Full of facts and fun!
