Reviews
Grade 1-4-- In the 15th century, when native people first settled on the banks of the river now called the Nashua, it was a fertile and beautiful place. By the 1960s, the river valley had been ravaged by many years of serious pollution , and fish, birds, and other animals were no longer seen in the area. Through the efforts of Marion Stoddart and the Nashua River Watershed Association, laws were passed that resulted in the restoration of this river and the protection of all rivers. The author gets high marks for documenting the negative impact of industry on the environment and for highlighting the difference one determined person can make. However, young readers lacking historical background need more facts and dates than are included here. Cherry uses borders on pages that detail, for example, some of the inventions conceived in the 19th century; inexplicably, most are labeled but only some are dated. Her note and the maps on the endpapers, which include a timeline, also help to place the events in context. The watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations are sweeping in their subject matter and adequately convey the physical deterioration of the watershed. However, one picture is misleading; although all the animals depicted live in this habitat, they would not all be seen together. The current concern over the environment will make this a sought-after title, since it is brief enough to read aloud to groups of children. With assistance from informed adult readers, it makes an important contribution to literature on water pollution. --Ellen Fader, Westport Public Library, CT, "An important, intelligently presented story."-- Kirkus Reviews "Readers will be moved to consider their personal impact on the environment and what they can do to make a difference."-- Booklist "An important contribution to literature."-- School Library Journal

- c***c (380)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWell packaged, item as pictured, came very quickly. The practice of assigning a condition of “acceptable” to every book listed offers no assistance to prospective buyers for making a purchase decision and would be likely to deter me from choosing this vendor over another offering the same edition, but the abundant photos provided and assurance that an effort to show any defects would be made were considerably more helpful. Fully satisfied with the book received.Adventures For Readers : Book 2 - Harcourt Brace (Hardcover, 1968) (#155917010545)
