Discover the strange - and sometimes familiar - ways animals settle down for bed While you brush your teeth and turn out the light, animals all over the world are getting ready for bed in their own unique ways. Otters snuggle under seaweed blankets, plump walruses use their throat pouches as pillows, and just like putting on pajamas, parrotfish cover themselves with a coat of slime before bed. Drawing on scientific research, this nonfiction book for young readers playfully compares the ways humans and animals prepare for a good night's sleep. On one page, a child dozes during a car ride or cuddles up to their parents in bed. Flip the page, and readers will delight in discovering how other creatures catch some z's. Vibrant collage illustrations bring color and humor to the fascinating facts about animals both familiar and unusual. With lively descriptions of each animal's bedtime routine, Snooze-O-Rama is a playful introduction to STEM--and an invitation to sleep!
Dr. Hallie Mara, an attractive young MD, and Reed Kincaid, her friend, watch in horror as Reed’s brother collapses and dies, whispering that he has been poisoned and that “many will die Friday.” But the police find no poison and refuse to investigate. So Hallie and Reed start digging into things. What they unearth terrifies them. And as they start zeroing in on the killer, the killer quickly zeroes in on them. Barely escaping with their lives, they learn that the killer, a brilliant psychopath, has chosen a select group of people, many people, to die in a few hours. When Hallie and Reed finally convince the police and federal authorities to stop the psychopath, there’s an even bigger problem. It’s too late. “Dead Air is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that grabbed me quick and didn’t let go until its phenomenal, white-knuckle ending. And most terrifying of all — it could happen tomorrow. I couldn’t stop turning the pages.” — Robert L. Fenton, best-selling author,Black Tie Only
