An Egret's Day

(4) 4-6 Photographs by Jason Stemple. Yolen's collection of poems reveals the egret experience; the "wash-and-wear" feathers of one spread become the unjustly hunted plumes of the next. Each poem relays facts about the birds with varying degrees of poetic achievement; some are effortless, others forced. Elegant photography gives egrets center stage while allowing the natural habitats to shine as well.
