Book Description

Have you ever seen a butterfly in the snow?

Probably not. Butterflies can't survive cold weather, so when winter comes, many butterflies fly to warmer places. They migrate. Woodchucks don't like cold weather either but they don't migrate; they hibernate. Woodchucks sleep in their dens all winter long. Read and find out how other animals cope with winter's worst weather.

I liked "Baby Whale Rescue" because they saved a whale that was stranded without its mother for a week. I knew JJ from TV News, Seaworld, and from watch his release to the sea. ... Read more

A colorful view of rainforest life
"Partners and Parents," by Michael Chinery, is a children's book about the animals of the rainforest. The book focuses on animal parenting and social organization. Animals covered include the glasswing butterfly, sloth, scorpion, giant millipede, Wilson's bird of paradise, bats, gorillas, and more. The main text is accompanied by a glossary, an index, a map showing the world's main rainforest areas, and a list of Web links and addresses for conservation organizations.

I really liked the stunning, full-color photos in this book. Some of the best images include a fight between two male strawberry poison-arrow frogs; a "writhing ball" of anacondas; the intricately woven nest of a white-throated spoonbill; and a multicolored male knobbed hornbill. A great book for young animal lovers. ... Read more
