An introduction to one of the most awe-inspiring spectacles on
Earth--with the Cat in the Hat as your guide! With a little help
from Thing One and Thing Two, the Cat in the Hat travels the
Earth--and beyond--to introduce beginning readers to the science
and history of volcanoes. From how they are formed to how they
errupt, kids will learn why we wouldn't have rain, sleet, or snow
without them; the difference between lava and magma; how most
volcanoes are under water; and much, much more! Also included is a
look at specific volcanoes from around the world (and Mars)
including Mt. Vesuvius, Mt. Etna, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Pinatubo, Mt.
Krakatoa, Mt. Erebus, Castle Rock, Mauna Loa, and Olympus Mons.
Perfect for nurturing a love of science and reading in a young
child, this is a great choice for fans of the hit PBS show The Cat
in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! The Cat in the Hat's Learning
Library is a nonfiction, unjacketed hardcover series that
introduces beginning readers ages 5-8 to important basic concepts.
Featuring beloved characters from Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat,
the Learning Library titles explore a range of topics about the
world we live in and include an index, glossary, and suggestions
for further reading.
A child's bond with a beloved animal is a powerful one. The loss of
a pet due to illness or trauma can be a troubling time in a child's
life. This guide gently describes the why's surrounding end-of-life
issues with animals and details valuable ways for children to move
through this experience in a positive fashion. Illustrations.

youngest listeners to this gentle reminder of the easy, everyday
ways we can be kinder to the earth.
"From the Hardcover edition."
Children are naturally drawn to animals. Sooner or later your child
may ask for a dog of their own. This book will help your child
learn about the care and training that a Chinese Pug needs, all the
while they are learning with the fun activities in the book.
They'll have fun with the fill in the missing vowels, word find
puzzles, mazes, charts, pledge, making their own note cards and
bookmarks, crafts and questions & answers. The book is a fun
read as told from the Chinese Pug's point of view.
A Selection of the Discovery Channel Book Club
In sixteen stories Steve Daubert pulls the reader into the mystery
and immediacy of ecological processes spanning a range from
microscopic to tectonic, from microscopic to cosmic forces. Each
tale brings the reader into the moment to witness an episode of
survival in the wild first-hand. The material is presented on a
level of intimacy and detail not usually encountered in other
styles of natural history writing.
These creative non-fiction stories provide not just a bird's eye
view (though that's true for the owls, warblers, condors, and
hummingbirds in the book), but a wasp's eye view, a mouse's, a sea
turtle's, a squid's. Sometimes the focus is as small as the
detritus on the forest floor, or a single beat of the wing of a
gull. Other stories range across evolutionary time. From whales and
dinosaurs to creatures invisible to the naked eye, author and
illustrator bring to life the dynamic interplay of living, evolving
creatures and the natural forces that have shaped their worlds.
The book includes chapter notes that document the scientific basis
for each story and describe the controversies still surrounding
some of them -- a splendid resource for families to read and share.
From award-winning author Tanita S. Davis comes a nuanced
exploration of the microaggressions of middle school and a young
Black girl named Madalyn who learns that being a good friend means
dealing with the blue skies and the rain-and having the tough
conversations on days that are partly cloudy. Perfect for fans of A
Good Kind of Trouble and From the Desk of Zoe Washington. Lightning
couldn't strike twice, could it? After a terrible year, Madalyn
needs clear skies desperately. Moving in with her great-uncle, Papa
Lobo, and switching to a new school is just the first step. It's
not all rainbows and sunshine, though. Madalyn discovers she's the
only Black girl in her class, and while most of her classmates are
friendly, assumptions lead to some serious storms. Papa Lobo's
long-running feud with neighbor Mrs. Baylor brings wild weather of
its own, and Madalyn wonders just how far things will go. But when
fire threatens the community, Madalyn discovers that truly being
neighborly means more than just staying on your side of the street-
it means weathering tough conversations-and finding that together a
family can pull through anything. Award-winning author Tanita S.
Davis shows us that life isn't always clear, and that partly cloudy
days still contain a bit of blue worth celebrating.
