Gr 4-6-A rather sketchy account of the naturalist's life, taken from a variety of his own writings. Childhood events that influenced Audubon's interest in birds and art are related, as well as his lack of academic motivation. A near-fatal experience, his lack of self-confidence in his artistic works, and his constant yearning to be outdoors are also recounted. His perseverance, attention to detail, and determination to capture the most lifelike images possible come through in his words. Fine-quality reproductions of Audubon's paintings are scattered throughout, intermingled with Farley's realistic oil paintings of the man and his work. Most of the information here can be found in Martha Kendall's John James Audubon (Millbrook, 1993), which presents a more complete picture of the subject and includes photographs. Report writers should look to that book; Capturing Nature provides a suitable companion volume for children who respond to first-person narratives.-Diane Nunn, Richard E.

《儿童读物杂志》(Horn Book)书评
Reading a diary from a century ago is like traveling in time: the thought processes are different, and so are the country and countryside. However, Audubon's struggles and doubts are timeless, and the insight into our past culture is fascinating. The color reproductions of Audubon's paintings are beautiful, although readers may not always understand the labeling. Bib. From HORN BOOK 1993, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
Explaining that ``Our selections, with minor editing, come from Maria Audubon (1986), Audubon and His Journals,'' the Roops choose passages that outline Audubon's life, work, and thought, effectively evoking a man for whom painting birds was ``almost a mania,'' who ``would even give up doing a head, the profits of which would have supplied our wants for a week, to represent a citizen of the feathered tribe,'' and who wondered prophetically about imminent effects of ``the surplus population of Europe coming to assist in the destruction of the forest.'' The book is attractively furnished with excellent reproductions (titled but not dated); Farley's rather stolid paintings suffer by comparison, ironically underlining Audubon's skill. The text, offered without dates or ellipses, sounds retrospective rather than like a journal; readers capable enough to cope with its vocabulary would be better served by having more clues to specific sources. A chronology and index, too, are wanting. Still, lucid and attractive. List of secondary sources. (Autobiography. 10-14)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 5-7. Culled from the diaries of the famous painter and naturalist John James Audubon, the text of this book reads smoothly as an autobiography. Beginning with his life as a spoiled child in France, Audubon recounts his budding fascination with wildlife and with art, which eventually flowered in the publication of his Birds of America. But first, Audubon came to America to avoid serving in Napoleon's army, nearly drowned in a freezing river, married and moved to the frontier, started a business, lost his inherited fortune, went into debt, and finally resolved to support his family through his lifelong talent for observing and painting birds. Each turn of the page brings another full-color illustration, either a reproduction of an Audubon print or a modern painting showing a scene from the diary. The two work surprisingly well together, a tribute to the publisher's skill in designing this handsome book and to illustrator Farley's approach to the artwork. Keep this in mind for autobiography assignments and classroom units on early-nineteenth-century America. ~--Carolyn Phelan
