These books all have a similar format: They have a fictional story, a kind of historical or wildlife novel - very well researched, and appropriate for about third grade or older. They are large books: nine by 12 inches, and,when you open them they have a one page chapter on the left page, and a beautiful, full-size, detailed, water-color painting on the right page. There are also, at least one, and usually several, black and white drawings in the margins of the left page. Some of these marginal illustrations show scenes from the story and others contain technical or scientific information with notes. They are all beautiful and fascinating. I still enjoy rereading them at age 60. For pure artistic quality these might be the best children's books ever written! As illustrated books the are the equal of any I have seen, even including the stunning Rockwell Kent books like North by East. The information contained is also very thorough and interesting, especially to a kid who loves science and technology and history. Even at 70 years old the books don't seem dated. Some of these books have been reprinted in paperback and one reviewer mentioned the the colors didn't look as bright as in the originals. If true, this is very sad, but often the case in reprinted children's classics. It is probably best to by a used hard-cover copy. Make sure it comes with a dust jacket. Review: Great story! - My 10 and 8 year old boys loved this story. Can't believe I had never read this author before. Story and illustrations are absolutely beautiful!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #39,350 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Teen & Young Adult 19th Century United States Historical Fiction #13 in Teen & Young Adult 20th Century United States Historical Fiction #64 in Science & Technology for Teens (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (329) | | Dimensions | 8.62 x 0.19 x 11 inches | | Edition | illustrated | | Grade level | 5 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0395266815 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0395266816 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 64 pages | | Publication date | April 26, 1978 | | Publisher | Clarion Books | | Reading age | 10 - 12 years | ## Images ![Seabird: A Newbery Honor Award Winner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iJ80gzqqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ magnificent illustrations *by J***N on September 8, 2011* The Holling Clancy Holling books: Pagoo, Minn of the Mississippi, Paddle to the Sea, and Seabird, were my childhood favorites, especially Seabird,because of my love of the sea, and, because somehow I identified with the main character, Ezra.
