Little Loon is the story about a loon and her first summer on the lake, and also teaches loon facts. . . .I liked Little Loon because I have seen loons at our cottage in Canada. I learned some facts about loons, like the color of the eggs, that baby loons float, and that both parents take care of the babies. I liked the illustrations, they are colorful, but I wish there was more detail of the loon’s feathers. My favorite fact is that red eyes might help them see better underwater.
