Become a bird detective, discovering clues about where a bird lives, how it moves, and what it eats by looking at its feet. Laurie Angus’ bright, bold illustrations and simple text invite children to guess what birds will be revealed on successive pages. But look out! Predators are watching the birds, and they are hungry! “Fun Foot Facts,” food chains, bird watching tips, and more are presented in Explore More for Kids, Teachers, and Parents in the back of the book.
Swim along with Octopus as she leaves the safety of her den to search for food. She outwits dangerous enemies by using a dazzling display of defenses-clouds of ink, jet propulsion, camouflage, and more. Oh, yes, Octopus escapes again and again! Supplementary material includes information on the many creatures Octopus meets in the story, an introduction to the animal’s remarkable biology, and stories which tend to demonstrate the remarkable intelligence of these animals.
