 Dipper of Copper Creek April 1, 2004
The Dipper of Copper Creek is full of nature and surprises. Cinclus is a wonderful bird that has to find food for his new young. Ever since the boy was at his grampa's house, by a ghost town, he has always been on a search for Cinclus. He is suppose to help his grandfather dig to find gold, silver, or ore. They next find ore, a lot of ore.it is a very nice book.
Don't rip this one apart January 20, 2001

One of the other reviewers on this page does not seem to know what he/she is talking about. The animals in the book do not talk. Instead, they are projected with dignity and accuracy. Jean Craighead George, author of the Julie books, the My Side of the Mountain books, and nearly eighty other wonderful nature stories for children, wrote DIPPER OF COPPER CREEK with her husband John George (they are now divorced), as well as VULPES THE RED FOX, VISON THE MINK, and other fine but, in my opinion, not appropriately recognized nature books. This is a wonderful book, and the story of a young boy becoming a man while his favorite birds become independent around him, is unforgettable. Any nature lover will appreciate this book. You must look deep into the poetic and beautiful text and know that this is indeed not a book to be ripped apart.
 I Hate this book, It is the worst book in the world. October 29, 1998

I had to do this as a book report. There is not much to talk about it. I just hate it and wish I could rip it up. I did not like it because they changed the subject to much. I did not like that animals talked. It was very confusing. And too much detail, instead of sticking to the story line of the boy and grandfather on a mining trip.

This was one of the most fantastic books I have ever read! I love the way Ms. George trys to see what is would be like from the Dippers' point of view. Keep up the good work! Dipper (*v*)
