"This book is so much more than only a picture book, but I also would grant it status as one of the top three picture books I have ever read. The artwork by Holling Clancy Holling is simply unparalleled, or if rivaled by anyone at all, then only by Robert Lawson and perhaps Garth Williams at his best. The deep, thought-povoking story, combined with the majestic pictures that caused me to gasp when turning most pages like a new present being opened on Christmas morning, give this story a value beyond what I ever expected when I first decided to read it. Seabird is eminently worthy of its Newbery Honor citation, and is a truly and regally magnificent story."
"We're not liking this one as well as we did Paddle-to-the-Sea. Maybe I didn't do my homework well enough, but I didn't know the first part of the book was about a whaling ship. We're reading along and they kill a whale and start stripping the blubber off and boiling it down and it gets a little gruesome. My boys all looked a little green in the gills for a while.
I'll let you know how we like the rest once we finish it.
Okay, we finished it. We followed the change in ships from whaling to sailing a schooner to steam and liner and finally airplane. It was interesting but very short. If your kids express an interest you could go much more indepth.
We liked the book better as we went along, but it still didn't captivate us like Paddle-to-the Sea did. I think we will probably read it again when the younger ones are a little older, but I'm still not positive."
"Like all good children's literature (and film as well), Holling Clancy Holling's books are delightful for adults as well as kids of all ages. Younger children love to have his books read to them, and older ones love to read them, which is kind of a bummer because then the adults don't get to read them anymore. Seabird is just what the title implies. All of his books instill a love for nature."
