The forest calls, and creatures come: big and small, one by one.
They sense there is a task to do as night descends, replacing blue.
On one bright winter night, a group of woodland creatures emerges
from the forest. Despite their differences, they start to build
something together, using items found on the forest floor. What are
they making? And how quickly can they build it? Something special
is happening tonight, and soon the animals are off-in a race to
catch a glimpse of one of nature's most astounding wonders! With
lyrical text and sparkling artwork, Bright Winter Night is a
celebration of the joy and beauty of nature and the special gift of
friendship and togetherness.
With pictures from the illustrator behind Last Week Tonight's A Day
in the Life of Marlon Bundo, this delightfully punny story about
ocean life, conservation, and cooperation is perfect for sparking
conversations in the classroom and at home. Walt is a proud lobstah
whose greatest dream is winning the annual Swell Gahdens contest.
But year after year that honor always goes to his chowdah-head
neighbor Milton. One day, when heaps of gahbage show up in their
yahds, the rival lobstahs must join forces to save their beloved
gahdens from the trash floating down from above. Our oceans are
beautiful, colorful, diverse ecosystems that are home to over a
million species of underwater creatures. Unfortunately, humans are
putting our friends under the sea at risk by polluting Earth's
oceans daily. Lobstah Gahden will help kids understand the
importance of conservation, and additional backmatter about sea
life and pollution will give readers practical ways they can help
preserve our oceans.
