Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989) was a boy who loved animals. He grew up to be a man who studied animals and received a Nobel prize for his work. This book centres on the ground-breaking discoveries he made while observing and interacting with geese. His affection for his subjects and his fascination with their behaviour illuminate the process by which a boy who had a house full of pets became a revered, award-winning scientist. Clear, carefully researched text is accompanied by warm, impressionistic paintings in this engaging picture book biography, which will have special appeal for young animal lovers and science enthusiasts. AUTHOR Elaine Greenstein has illustrated a dozen picture books, some of which she also wrote. As a child, she says, Our house was on the beach. I was interested in birds, especially the families of geese --an interest she had in common with Konrad Lorenz. Age 5-8 GRADE K - 3 *
