The Lost Spells
Animals are all around us. While we may not often see them, we can see signs that they’ve been there. Some signs might be simple footprints in snow or mud (tracks) and other signs include chewed or scratched bark, homes or even poop and pee (traces). Children will become animal detectives after learning how to “read” the animal signs left all around. Smart detectives can even figure out what the animals were doing! This is a perfect sequel to Mary Holland’s Animal Anatomy and Adaptations series.
Show moreDo you like scavenger hunts? How do you tell if creek water is clean and healthy? Join Lucas and his sister as they act like scientists looking for certain kinds of stream bugs (aquatic macroinvertebrates) that need clean, unpolluted water to survive. What will they find as they turn over rocks, pick up leaves and sort through the mud? Read along to find out if their creek gets a passing grade.
Show moreWhat would it be like to live as a dinosaur? Young readers will discover that dinosaur lives had many similarities to present-day animals: they hatched, ran, hunted, hid from predators, and grew to adulthood. However, these creatures from the far past inhabited a world that was very different from today; a great example is that a simple thing like grass didn't yet exist. Repetitive sight words make this a great story for beginning readers and dinosaur enthusiasts alike.
Show moreQuick, name the world's fastest animal! Did you say cheetah? If so, you're right - sort of.

Did you know that that's not even the fastest animal there is? This "dashing dozen" of nature's speediest species examines the fastest on land, air, and sea. This story will resonate with children taking standardized tests...one size does not fit all!

However, during the course of the day, Oliver discovers that he just doesn't have the same adaptations. Being an otter isn't easy for a human. What's an otter-we mean, a boy-to do?
