Customer Reviews

This is an awesome book!

I am in first grade and I am six years old. I really like this book. The pictures are funny. I like the dodo bird and the heath hen, and the spoonbill escaping from the picture. I learned about the Audubon Society, it saves birds. I also learned that Harriet and Minna were cousins and real people. This book is great for ages six and up!

The Founding of the Audobon Society Takes Flight!

"She's Wearing a Dead Bird on Her Head" is an absolutely wonderful book to illustrate how we need to be kind to our feathered friends! Great when read with "voices" to match the pinch-faced, conservation minded women who star in the book! Hurray to Kathryn Lasky for writing a this child-eye opener and to David Catrow for bringing it to life!

Great book for girls!

This is a wonderful story for girls. Two women see a problem and set out to solve it! They are energetic and resourceful and end up making a difference. I enjoyed it as much as my daughter.
