Such an important figure, and we haven’t seen a better or kid-friendly alternative at our library. TGTB does it better than anyone else! Everything is so well thought out.
Wonderful read aloud!

We just completed this book as a science read aloud for my kindergarten and 4th grader. They were both very sad that the book was over! This book helped spark interest in bird watching and further reading about John Audubon.
Beautiful Resource

My kids and I enjoyed this book overall. Some parts are a bit dry and the changing of the main characters name was a bit confusing for my son at times. However, overall we really liked the book. I read it as a read a loud while doing crafts for our bird unit. My kids ask questions and we’re engaged in the book, I loved that!!

“He stared into the fire, wondering why on earth he had such a poor memory for places and faces, for almost everything except birds.” A French orphan named Fougère is fortunate enough to be welcomed into a loving home with a doting mother, sweet sister, and proud father during the French Revolution. Throughout his childhood he is drawn again and again to the study of birds. While confounding his father, who has other plans for him, his obsession with accurately drawing every bird he sees leads him on many adventures throughout his life. Eventually, Fougère changes his name to John J. Audubon, after whom an entire society devoted to the study of birds is named—The Audubon Society of America, which still exists today. Follow along as Audubon, supported by his steadfast wife and children, transforms the world of ornithology in The Story of John J. Audubon.
