Plenty of natural history books look at animal life from an outsider’s viewpoint. Now it’s time for some inside knowledge! A narrative diary text combined with up-to-date scientific knowledge to provide an entertaining and informative account of the daily lives of these creatures.
My name is Eagle and this is my very own diary. Please read it so you can find out all about - ME! I'm top bird in the avian world so sit up and take notice! I'll tell you why even big animals like goats and deer are scared of me and I'll show you my nest - high up on a mountain's edge!
I hope you enjoy my diary - I wrote it with a bit of help from a human called Steve Parker.
