The Hawk of the Castle

By Danna Smith
Picture Books
Review:

Ever wanted to take a look into the life of a bird of prey? Here’s your chance! With a consistent rhyme scheme, you’ll find yourself anticipating each coming stanza. Throughout the book are helpful sections that provide educational information about the details, equipment, and skills of falconry to help readers better understand the Hawk of the Castle. This book would probably be best enjoyed by children who already have some interest in birds of prey or falconry as it does go pretty in depth.
