Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
A brief, fictionalized account of the lifecycle of the Sandhill Crane, this book, written by the noted zoologist and wildlife author, Paul A. Johnsgard, is an excellents means of introducing oneself to this magnificent species. The hardcover edition, published in 1981, is small in format, smaller than the average tradepaperback, and is printed in brown ink. A number of illustrations by the author are included. Overall, a very delightful book.
