Book Descriptions
for Loon at Northwood Lake by Elizabeth Ring and Taylor Oughton
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
In April a male loon and his mate return from their winter home to a lake in the North woods where they spend the summer. The female lays her eggs and when the loonlings hatch, they are cared for by their parents until they are ready to survive on their own. Realistic paintings by a wildlife artist give young readers a close-up look at this familiar water bird. (Ages 3-8)
