Author and illustrator Martha Zschock was a third-grade teacher on
Cape Cod. When taking her students on field trips on the Cape, she
discovered what sites and stories excited them most. Drawing on
that experience, she created what one Cape Cod bookseller calls
"the best Cape book we've ever had," and the first in a series of
alphabet books that visit great American places. Journey Around
Cape Cod and the Islands From A to Z is an alphabet book, but one
that is equally enjoyable and interesting for children of all ages
and for adults, as well. From Aptucxet to Zooplankton, it offers
fascinating information about the Cape and its history, all of it
illustrated with Zschock's beautiful watercolor work.

Mount Everest is undoubtedly one of the most famous mountains on
Earth. Hundreds of people clamber to its summit every year,
following in Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's footsteps... but
there is so much more to this mountain than the people who climb
it. With sumptuous and stylish illustrations by Lisk Feng, this
dynamic book reveals the great mountain's ancient origins, the
flora and fauna that thrive upon its great flanks, and the rich
mythology of Sagarmatha, the Goddess of the Sky.
Discover the remarkable achievements of female life scientists in
this fascinating book. Learn more about this STEM topic through
inspirational women such as Mary Anning, Dian Fossey and Sylvia
Earle, and find out how they overcame prejudice and other obstacles
to achieve scientific greatness.
