Frightful's Daughter

Written by Jean Craighead George

Narrated by Jeff Woodman

Oksi-the daughter of the legendary falcon Frightful- does things her own way. And when a poacher climbs the steel girders of a bridge to Frightful's nest, Oksi's refusal to act like her brothers keeps her from being captured. Unfortunately, Frightful (who can't count) thinks the man has stolen all of her babies, and she abandons the nest. Luckily, Frightful's friend Sam Gribley comes to Oksi's aid. This delightful continuation of the story from Frightful's Mountain serves as a great introduction for young readers to the lessons of forest life.

Reviews for Frightful's Daughter

[teresacruz-3 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book showed a lot of rebellion and doing things differently than what your parents would do. I like the independence and friendship shown, and how a young falcon had to learn to live on her own.

I ordered this online, but did not realize it was a picture book until it arrived. But a very nice picture book it is, aimed at young readers, but also enjoyable for adults who don't have issues with reading children's books. I'll keep it until I can regift it to an appropriate child...or adult. :)
