In this fantastical picture book perfect for fans of Aaron Becker's
Journey, a human child and a child from another planet discover
that no matter where you live or what your books are like,
reading�and sharing�are universal. A cosmic celebration of the
joy of sharing books and having new experiences awaits readers in
this captivating wordless picture book for ages 3 to 6. A child
busy reading in a treehouse spots a family who seems to have just
arrived on Earth for a picnic. The youngest member of the alien
family holds a mind-bendingly strange object. Could it be a book
from outer space? At the end of this gorgeously illustrated tale,
each child returns home with a book from far away to remember a
kind stranger. Sure to take its place among gently fantastical
favorites like Sophie Blackall's If You Come to Earth and Carson
Ellis's Du Iz Tak?, this picture book will enchant and delight
curious kids and book lovers everywhere.
Kids love science, kids love animals, and kids love
everything--everything--weird. Introducing The Screaming Hairy
Armadillo and 76 Other Animals with Wild, Wacky Names, a
science-based illustrated celebration of creatures notable for
their bizarre, baffling, and just-plain-funny names. Meet the Waxy
Monkey Tree Frog, who lives high in the forests of South
America--the "waxy" refers to its skin secretions and the "monkey"
comes from its long, simian fingers, perfect for climbing. The
White-Bellied Go-Away Bird--guess what its cry sounds like? Plus
the Fried Egg Jellyfish, the Sparklemuffin Peacock Spider, the
Bone-Eating Snot Flower Worm, and many more. While the names of
these species are undeniably curious, the heart of the book is
their just-as-curious habits, appearance, abilities--and the
stories of how they acquired their unusual monikers. There are over
70 creatures in all, brought to life with full-color illustrations
and photographs and detailed, engagingly written text.
