Enter the fascinating world of eggs and hatchlings Birds hatch from
eggs, and so do reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. Even the
dinosaurs came from eggs In this nonfiction title, readers will
learn about some of the most amazing animals on the planet and how
their lives begin - hatching from an egg.
David Antenborough narrates this picture-book send-up of a nature
documentary, sounding just like the real-life David but with more
gesticulations, since he has six limbs at his disposal. Director
Stephen Spielbug tries to keep the cast of characters on task, but
it’s worse than herding cats: The orb-weaving spider would like
to eat one or two other actors; the grasshopper is a diva; the worm
is too busy munching dirt to emerge from the ground on cue; the
robin has joined a union and declines to show up for the predation
scene; and the slug is too embarrassed by his slime to perform. As
David and Stephen near the wrap-up, filming is interrupted by a
whuffling noise and then a foul-smelling hurricane, and Fido the
dog sniffs his way through the grass and onto their set. The
panicked actors flee at top speed (which is not very fast in the
slug’s case), but the intrepid Antenborough continues narrating,
Spielbug keeps directing, and they bring the film to a dramatic
conclusion. Despite the chaos—or maybe because of it—we learn
some things about these animals, and backmatter nature facts give
us more.

People have taken dangerous risks trying to fly. Some inventors
built wings for their arms and flapped them like birds. Others
tried to fly with balloons or tried to glide with the wind. This
book describes the creative, fascinating, and wacky experiments
that people tried before the airplane was invented.
This is a Stage 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book
explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary
grades. Let's-Read-And-Find-Out is the winner of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books
& Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series.

Puffins are funny. With their round little bodies and stubby wings,
combined with a brightly colored beak, they are one of the most
appealing birds. Just looking at a puffin can make you happy. For
whatever reason, puffins appeal to practically everybody. This
entertaining and informative book tells you everything you really
want to know about puffins, answering the kinds of questions kids
always ask, such as Do puffins have teeth?; Do they always have
such colorful beaks?; Are they related to penguins?; and Why are
they called puffins, anyway? .
