Abbeville’s classic edition of The Birds of
America is back in stock — in a striking new package. The
Baby Elephant Folio presents all 435 of John James Audubon’s
brilliant hand-coloured engravings in exquisite reproductions
derived from the original plates of the rare Double Elephant Folio.
Although many attempts have been made to re-create the splendid
illustrations in Audubon’s masterpiece, nothing has ever equaled
the level of fidelity achieved in this luxurious edition.Organised
and annotated by Roger Tory Peterson and Virginia Marie Peterson,
this volume is as informative as it is beautiful. Its fascinating
introduction places Audubon in the context of the history of
American ornithological art and also reproduces a wide sampling of
the work of his notable predecessors and disciples, including Roger
Tory Peterson’s own rightfully famous paintings. A new systematic
arrangement of the prints, following the modern classification of
species, and descriptive captions about each bird allow us to
appreciate Audubon's achievement in the light of modern
ornithology.

Dive in for a taste of tide pool soup
When the tide goes out, a briny soup is trapped among the rocks.
Playful poems introduce readers to ten salty tide-pool
creatures--from a self-satisfied anemone that brags about its home
to barnacles that perform a rap about their feeding technique. The
poems are brought to life by Mary Peterson's lighthearted
illustrations.
A secondary layer of factual text introduces children to the
creatures that inhabit North American tide pools.
