Wordless Wednesday: The Egret Visit

We really wanted to put our outdoor Christmas lights up but we received an unexpected visitor... nice egret! So, we'll wait til he leaves. How about you? Are your decorations and lights up?

Of course, this children's book came to my mind:

For ages 8 and up

Poems and photographs take readers up close to observe the daily life of the extraordinary Great Egret. A Great Egret rarely rests. This majestic bird, with its big feet, even bigger beak, and breathtaking lacy wings, is a treat to watch. With his camera, photographer Jason Stemple takes us close to these magnificent creatures to witness their physical - and quirky - beauty as well as their daily habits and behavior - soaring, hunting, preening, nesting - which most of us never get a chance to see. Meanwhile, celebrated poet Jane Yolen offers her keen observations in carefully-crafted poetry that is at once whimsical, thoughtful, and thought provoking. Interesting facts about the bird accompany each poem.

Review: Owlkids-Animal Babies

For ages 4 and up

 Book Review:

  Animal Babies is the best educational, engaging and entertaining book about the birth and growth of animals! Everyone will enjoy pulling all of the tabs, flaps, and touch-and-feel illustrations that connect with excellent reading content, written in simple text by Pascale Hedelin and Stephanie Herrbach.

Whether you are studying science,  love animals or have traveled the outdoors, Animal Babies is an excellent, quality book published by Owlkids that is a must for all home and school libraries. You will spend hours interacting and learning about the birth of elephants and giraffes, how a dolphin breathes and what animals do once they have grown up.

My favorite parts of the book are touching an alligator's skin and finding sea turtle eggs in the sand. For an added bonus, you will receive a huge pull-out poster with life-size images of baby animals in the African Savanna, included with book purchase. ***** stars! I have never seen such an amazing book before and highly recommend this one to you!
