William Beebe seems to have lived the life that I wanted as I was growing. To some degree, he lived the life that I want to live still. This was a great book about an important figure in the history of ecology, and yet he would probably be relagated to obscurity were it not for brilliant work like this. I really think that this is an exceptional children's biography and both the text and illustrations were very well done. I'd love to see some other work from David Sheldon as it seems that he has quite a gift to share with the rest of us. (
