Junior Library Guild: Creepy Carrots! by Aaron Reynolds". www.juniorlibraryguild.com . Retrieved 2023-04-07. On a practical note, having learned about the threats to bats and their habitats, we’re now planning on planting some bat-friendly plants to see if we can lure any flying mammals into the garden this summer. Interesting facts give explanations of how different urban settings help animals thrive – you’ll find out why Cape Town’s weather attracts lots of sea life, and where reptiles like to hang out in Bangkok – while detailed illustrations will leave you with an impression of what these global cities feel like overall. The countryside is welcoming for its own finds, but Wild City shows us that you don’t have to leave town to discover the cool wildlife around. Wild, long story short, is a beautiful picture book that speaks about a feral child who, in the end, encounters humans. Sounds a bit banal, but it's still lovely as Hughes has done a great job in depicting matters of great importance, which are, inter alia, exploring and embracing one's peculiarities, and passing such notions to children in a highly accessible manner. The book isn't perfect. Odd factual glitches include an assertion that sloths favour the rainforest understory (rather than the canopy). But such minor grumbles do not detract from a well-presented product.

The next time I get my theories of natural, sexual and kin selection as mixed up with each other as a double helix of DNA, I’ll know where to go. Here are short, simple explanations of each one, with bonus, witty illustrations to drive home the point like a rutting red deer stag. Best Books 2016". Publishers Weekly. Archived from the original on 2022-11-30 . Retrieved 2023-04-07. Did you know that on a clear night the human eye can see around 19 quadrillion miles into space? And that the earliest identified puzzle was written over 4,000 years ago? These and many other fascinating nuggets of information can be found in this engaging book inspired by exhibits in the Natural History Museum.Showing that animals are more like us than we might think, it covers how some species play and learn, how they use tools and partner up, and much more. But what might be an informative and entertaining one-time read is made a real treasure by the beautiful explanatory illustrations. While many children's non-fiction books prefer to sneak conservation messages in here and there, Red Alert! boldly chooses to put wildlife conservation front-and-centre. Given the gloomy environmental prognoses our kids are growing up with, this anthology is an inspiring reminder that even small actions make a difference.

In 2014, My Teacher is a Monster! was named one of the best children's books of the year by Publishers Weekly. [12] To my five-year-old son, who was happy to test the title's appeal, the experience of pressing bird-emblazoned buttons for instant aural gratification were a hit. Within five minutes his restless little fingers had played each of the different songs countless times.

The Curious Garden | Awards & Grants". American Library Association. 2011-01-10 . Retrieved 2023-04-07. This charming book’s tone is one of wonder at the extraordinary abilities of animals all around us, but it doesn’t shy away from the difficult subject of how humans negatively impact the environment. As Kuo puts it, “If we used less light, what could we see?” Regular anthropomorphism jars slightly (puffins ‘bump into’ and flamingos ‘dance with’ their ‘friends’) and the odd misguided statement is frustrating (urban peregrines nest on skyscrapers because it ‘reminds’ them of cliffs used ‘in the wild’). But such minor grumbles fail to detract from an enchanting product that provides perfect bird-oriented bedtime reading for inquisitive children and their parents. Little ones go wild for this series about Liz, Amy, Ellie, and Marion and their many animal friends. The Infamous Ratsos by Kara LaReau Dara writes of his ordinary-extraordinary family in Northern Ireland and the ordinary-extraordinary nature he loves, with passion, humour and searing eloquence. It made me laugh, cry, cringe and sigh, and reminded me startlingly of who I once was and who I once wanted (deep down still want) to be.

There have been so many books published about getting kids into wildlife and nature that my first reaction to Get Your Boots On was: do we need another one? But this one is different because it was written by a kid – well, okay, Alex White is a teenager, but hopefully he knows how they think. The dietary details can feel a trifle misleading (sun bears don’t only eat honey-related products, surely), but that’s a minor quibble. But don't glorify destroying somebody's belongings just because you're angry. Reading this book to sensitive little minds is telling them quite squarely: if you're angry enough, this is justified. If you express your anger in a careless, violent way, you will likely feel better. Awards: NAIBA Books of the Year; Lane Anderson Shortlists". Shelf Awareness. 2011-08-17.
