In this second book in the West Coast Wild series, readers will
meet the baby animals born in the pristine wilderness of the
Pacific west coast, including land and marine mammals, fish, birds
and amphibians. It's spring on the Pacific west coast and new life
is stirring! Wild babies are being born - in the ocean, on the
shore and deep inside the ancient rainforest. Wolf pups, cougar
kittens, bear cubs and whale calves all begin their life in the
pristine wilderness of this magnificent place. Young readers will
meet a fascinating group of fourteen wild baby animals - including
land and marine mammals, fish, birds and amphibians - and learn
about the special bonds between offspring and parents, and how the
newborns move toward independence. Readers will see an
extraordinary community of animals thriving in an interconnected
web of life. In this second book in the West Coast Wild series,
Deborah Hodge takes readers through the spectacular land and
seascapes of the Pacific Rim region, introducing familiar animals
such as sea otters and eagles, and lesser known species such as
pelagic cormorants and rufous hummingbirds. Karen Reczuch's
beautiful illustrations are detailed and lifelike, and convey a
lovely sense of warmth between the wild parents and their young.
The text and art have been carefully checked for scientific
accuracy. Includes a note about the Pacific west coast and the need
to preserve its rare and awe-inspiring wilderness regions, as well
as a list for further reading and exploration. Key Text Features

In the first of three linked stories, a young boy and his
grandfather set out in a birchbark canoe early one spring morning.
Together, they discover the peaceful beauty of the lake. In the
second story, the sun rises high in the summer sky as they climb a
rocky cliff for a bird's-eye view of the land. And, finally, as an
autumn night descends, they venture into the woods. Under the
patient and gentle guidance of his grandfather, the boy gradually
comes to respect the ways of nature and to understand his own place
in the world.
Celebrate the Pacific west coast with this gorgeous nature alphabet
book. This stunning nature alphabet book explores the fascinating
ecosystem of the Pacific west coast - a magnificent area that
combines an ancient rainforest, a rugged beach and a vast, open
ocean, and where whales, bears, wolves, eagles and a rich variety
of marine species thrive in an interconnected web of life. Author
Deborah Hodge has spent more than forty years on the west coast,
frequently visiting the Pacific Rim region, and she knows it
intimately. From A to Z she describes in vivid language the
rainforest, ocean and beach, and a great variety of animals that a
child might see walking along the shore - from tiny sea jellies to
inquisitive sandpipers to leaping orcas. Illustrator Karen Reczuch
brings her remarkable talent to the book, and has created image
after image that is simply breathtaking. The text and art have been
carefully checked for scientific accuracy. Includes a note about
the Pacific west coast and suggestions for exploring the region and
further reading. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in
English Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7 With prompting and
support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the
story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an
illustration depicts).
