A heartwarming story about a child's fear of the unknown, and how a mother's unconditional love can make
anything possible-especially a brave decision

Lucy Goosey has been playing happily in the same pond all her life, but the time has come for her to fly away.
She is so terrified of getting lost in the huge sky that she refuses to leave with the others. Is it more terrifying
to be alone, or to face one's greatest fear? No matter what happens, Lucy Goosey's mother will always come
looking for her-only once she is reassured of this does Lucy Goosey feel brave enough to make the flight.

Let's Look at the Seashore


Christian Broutin

Summary
The seashore scene has plenty of animals to spot, including a shrimp (it uses its pincers to cut up food and take
it to its mouth just like a knife and fork) and a sea anemone (it reproduces itself like a plant with buds-the
babies grow from the base of the anemone and gradually detach themselves).

Summary
A perfect gift book and learning tool, this book moves beyond the familiar to investigate little-known animal-
related vocabulary, paired with innovative design

A litter of kittens, a colony of ants, a pride of lions: everyone has heard of these plural nouns. But what about a
parcel of hogs, a kaleidoscope of butterflies, or a business of ferrets? What could be more apt than calling a
group of cockroaches an intrusion? Perhaps a loveliness of ladybirds! These fanciful groups and many more are
illustrated with cutting-edge design-dazzling as a dazzle of zebras.

Moon Zoo
Carol Ann Duffy, Joel Stewart

Summary
A lunar landscape is the setting for a very special zoo where elephants' "trunks are telescopes probing space,
pointing up at the Earth's blue face" and baboons "jump twenty feet into outer space and flash their bottoms at
the human race!"

The moon tiger scratches at shooting stars, polar bears float down from their mountain for starfish and salad,
and the zookeeper, of course, is an alien, complete with eight bright green hands. Lyrical, humorous verses
illuminate an entrancing world that is both familiar and strange, while soft-toned, wonderfully strange illustrations
Pan Macmillan
capture the eerie beauty of the moon zoo.

Nancy Carol Willis

Summary
This educational tale of the migration, mating, and nesting habits of a pair of robins as they raise and care for

breeding-season time line, and tips on helping injured or orphaned baby songbirds make this book as practical as
it is charming.

BIRDSONG BOOKS

Red Knot
A Shorebird's Incredible Journey
Nancy Carol Willis

Summary
Narrated in journal entries from the point of view of a red knot-a robin-sized shore bird that migrates 20,000
miles annually, from the tip of South America to the Arctic Circle and back-this book depicts one such dramatic
journey in stunningly detailed colored-pencil illustrations of the flight over the Atlantic Ocean, a landing in
Delaware Bay, the northern nesting grounds, chicks feeding on hatching insects, a close call with an arctic fox,
and the return home. At the heart of the story is a message about conservation: the birds stop only a few times
as they travel and always in the same coastal areas where dwindling food supplies have caused a precipitous
decline in their numbers over the past decade. Science concepts such as animal life cycles, climate, extinction,
Birdsong Books the food chain, and migration are introduced by information about how bird-banding and protecting the

life a story of the great nanurluk that has been told in the Kugaaruk region for generations.

abandoned on the sea ice by a group of cruel hunters is discovered and adopted by a polar bear elder. While
living in the polar bear's village, the orphan learns many lessons about survival, but most importantly, he learns

Koala
Origins of an Icon
Stephen Jackson

Summary
A detailed and fascinating examination of the history and unique ecology of an animal that is adored for its large
fluffy ears, spoon-shaped nose, and bright button eyes
This fascinating story of the koala explores the ecology, behavior, and history of an extraordinary animal, as well
as ongoing threats to its existence such as disease and habitat loss, and the controversial debate about how to
best manage the populations of Australia's favorite marsupial. Tracing its origins from a peaceful relationship with
Aborigines to Europeans valuing only its fur to its rightful place as an Australian icon, this investigation shows
the resilient and adaptive nature of the koala-described by many as a triumph of evolution. Today its homeland
is compromised and the creature is endangered, and this remarkable recollection of its life stands as a testament
to its necessary survival.

Shark
In Peril in the Sea
David Owen

Summary
Dispeling myths about shark attacks and offering facts about shark conservation and the history of shark-human
interaction, this guide comprehensively overturns negative and damaging perceptions of sharks
Thoroughly researched and written in clear, jargon-free prose by a shark "outsider," it reveals everything about
these sophisticated guardians of the oceans. The shark has been the planet's dominant predator for millions of
years. But in just 50 years all sharks have become threatened by human activity; victims of a deadly
combination of overfishing, pollution, and the destruction of their habitats. Although scientific knowledge of
sharks is increasing rapidly, there is still much to learn about these complex and elusive animals-and for many
species it may already be too late. Despite this, in the popular imagination sharks remain poorly understood and,
all too often, despised. This book stands up for sharks-big or small, scary or harmless.

The Heroic Life of the Atlantic Salmon
Richard Shelton

Summary
Combining exquisite natural history with beguiling autobiographical and historical narrative, a portrait of a fish
whose story is closely intertwined with our own
The Atlantic salmon is an extraordinary and mysterious fish. Here, Richard Shelton combines memoir and deep
scientific knowledge to reveal, from the salmon's point of view, both the riverine and marine worlds in which it
lives. He explores this iconic fish's journey to reach its feeding grounds in the northern oceans before making the
return over thousands of miles to the brooks of its birth to reproduce. Along the way, Shelton describes the
feats of exploration that gave us our first real understanding of the oceans, and shows how this iconic fish is a
vital indicator of the health of our rivers and oceans. Above all, this is the story of Richard Shelton's lifelong
passion for the sea and his attempt to solve the perennial enigmas of the salmon's secret life.

Wildlife of Australia
Louise Egerton, Jiri Lochman, Michael Archer

Summary
A magnificently illustrated, authoritative, and entertaining compendium of the abundant and unique animals that
live on the Australian continent today
In this account, the breathtaking scope of extraordinary wildlife in Australia is explored. Its colorful parrots,
venomous snakes, abundance of hopping marsupials, and the strange, egg-laying platypus-these are just a few
of the players in a story that began hundreds of millions of year ago. Many members of Australia's wildlife live
nowhere else on Earth and the result of evolution on a continent that has been geographically isolated from the
rest of the world for 38 million years. This reference traces how these animals have developed in response to
changing climates and habitats. It describes their day-to-day habits, where they live, how they find partners
and care for their young, and how they protect themselves and find food and shelter. With a list of scientific
Allen & Unwin names, good zoos and wildlife parks, the guide also includes useful and up-to-date websites and books, and a

Our Garden Birds


Matt Sewell

Summary
Unique and quirky watercolours and descriptions of 52 beloved British birds from the Bansky of the bird world.

In this beautiful, collectible new volume, street artist Matt Sewell offers his own unique take on 52 of our
favourite British garden birds.

Since its first appearance in July 2009, Matt's 'Bird of the Week' feature for the Caught by the River website has
quickly become a cult hit. His pop-art watercolours are distinctive and enchanting, as are his innovative
descriptions, which see great tits 'bossing the other birds around', the 'playful yet shy buoyancy' of bullfinches
and the 'improbable' nature of the waxwing ('like a computer-generated samurai finch').

Ebury Press With 52 birds, one for each week of the year, this delightful gift book will appeal to birders, children and adults,

The Birdwatcher's Pocket Companion


Malcolm Tait

Summary
There are many species of birdwatcher, and they are all catered to in this unique book. From the serious (why
vultures are dying out in Asia) to the bizarre (the parrot that can read minds); the informative (why waxwings
have waxy wings) to the completely ridiculous (avian footballing); The Birdwatcher's Pocket Companion takes
the reader through a veritable aviary of notes, quotes, facts, and stats. But this book doesn't just contain
fascinating snippets of information, it also offers extracts from the finest writing about birds over the centuries-
Gilbert White shares space with Chaucer, while Flora Thompson nestles up to D. H. Lawrence.

Drawing and Painting Birds


Tim Wootton

Summary
Artists can master a shorthand way to capture the movement and attitudes of birds-not always the most
cooperative of models
Birds have been featured in art for many thousands of years, but they pose a challenge to paint. By
understanding their anatomy and recognizing their type, the artist can learn to capture movement and attitude.
With technique and color mastered, style develops, and a special scene can be captured uniquely forever. This
artists' resource explains bird types, and how identifying specific similarities can help the artist. It advises on
painting in the field, using photographs, and working in the studio; describes how to paint plumage and birds in
flight; and demonstrates how to compose a painting with emphasis on the birds' habitat. Thirty leading artists
