Title: Moonbird: A Year on the Wind with the Great Survivor B95 By Phillip Hoose

Have you ever been passionate about something? Like the love for an animal? A bird perhaps? 

The book title Moonbird: A Year on the Wind with the Great Survivor B95 By Phillip Hoose is an easy read and understanding. It has great photographs, maps and diagrams that focus on the red knot bird. Its all you need to know about the B95, from where it got its name to the number of miles it flies over a year, 18,000 miles to be exact! 

This book is really an amazing book for someone who loves nature and loves birds! Im a great bird lover, birds have the most amazing, colorful and strong feathers that covers them all around. What is interesting  about this particular bird is that  this bird has the longest distance migrations of any animal. More than 18,000 miles round trip, which is equivalent of the distance to the moon and half way back. Which is a reason why he's call Moonbird. These  birds can fly more than 5000 miles with out stopping! Its truly amazing and informative if you want to read and learn about the Moonbird! I recommend this book because its very informative and someone who loves animals will enjoy this book as much as I did. 

Phillip Hoose, is a National Book Award winning authors who has introduce a magnificent subject of birds, and who was place  in The Washington Post’s Best Kids Books of 2012.
