Safe, Warm, and Snug
Who coils around her eggs in a stack? Who nestles her baby on her back? Who cuddles his chick on his feet? Who hides her baby in a pouch so deep? Find the answers--and some unusual animals--in this colorful book.
Turtle Tide
A mother turtle swims to shore. She digs a hole in a dune where she lays one hundred eggs. Following her instinct, she covers the eggs with sand and slowly makes her way back to sea. What happens next, from eggs to hatchlings, is one of the most extraordinary occurrences in nature. For the eggs provide food for other animals, and the eggs that survive produce hatchlings that, again, provide food for birds and crabs. Even those hatchlings that make it to the ocean face an uncertain future. Lyrical text and dramatic paintings give young readers an understanding of how turtles give birth and how the young fight for survival in this winner of the Maryland Blue Crab Young Readers' Award.
What's Opposite?
Up and down, big and small, hot and cold--opposites are all around us. Learning to identify opposites is one way children expand their view of the world. Soon they see that some things are completely different from one another and why. Steve Swinburne explores opposites through a simple, lively text and bright, colorful photographs that clearly illustrate this important concept. By the end of this engaging book, children will discover how opposites make the world a rich and wonderfully varied place. As in What's a Pair? What's a Dozen?; Lots and Lots of Zebra Stripes; and Guess Whose Shadow?, Stephen Swinburne offers another lively and entertaining look at an all-important concept.
Black Bear
Three species of bear inhabit North America: the grizzly, the polar bear, and the black bear. But the American black bear is truly North America's bear, found only in North America. Black bears range from Canada to Mexico, from New England to California. There may be as many as 750,000 black bears roaming the forests and mountains of the continent. With its large population, and with more people moving into black bear territory, it's important that we understand this magnificent animal. Stephen R. Swinburne takes us to where black bears live. He joins biologists in search of bears in the Pennsylvania woods, where a mother bear is examined and her cubs tagged. He visits a "school teacher" for orphaned cubs who teaches them how to survive in the wild. Along the way, he offers his personal observations together with fascinating facts about black bears and their world. (Did you know that in the autumn, black bears consume as much as twenty thousand calories a day? That's equivalent to forty-two hamburgers!) With stunning full-color and archival photographs, this lively book shows how North America's bear behaves and survives.
Saving Manatees
What has the whiskers of a walrus, the eyes of a mole, the wrinkles of an elephant, the tail of a beaver, and the gentle nature of a sloth? A slow-moving, water-loving, plant-eating, gentle giant called a manatee. The manatee has been swimming the oceans for ages. But today this ancient animal faces an uncertain future. In this Society of School Librarians International Honor Book, Stephen Swinburne takes young readers into the underwater world of manatees as he assists marine biologists who monitor the health of manatees in Homosassa Springs, Florida, and snorkels in the Crystal River with a dozen fourth-graders to observe manatees in the wild.
What's a Pair? What's a Dozen?
The world is filled with numbers. From learning to count their fingers to learning to put on their shoes, children encounter mathematical concepts early in life. Steve Swinburne introduces children to number-related words in this bouncy, colorful photo-essay. From one to a dozen, lively photographs illustrated math words such as single, double, couple, and prefixes such as uni-, bi-, and tri-. The second half of the book is presented as a guessing game. Following Lots and Lots of Zebra Stripes and Guess Whose Shadow?, Steve Swinburne offers children another entertaining look at an all-important concept.
