The Goose Family Book
de Sybille Kalas(Ed. Neugebauer Press,U.S.) Isbn : 0887080197
15.16 €
PreSchool-Grade 2 This book is an outgrowth of the author's belief that we will best be able to preserve our environment if children have been able to have direct emotional contact with animals.

The translation is, however, awkward at times, and...

Antarctica
de Helen Cowcher(Ed. Soundprints) Isbn : 0924483245
18.96 €
PreSchool-Grade 2 --In story form, Cowcher attempts to describe life for emperor and Adelie penguins and Weddell seals during one Antarctic winter and spring as they nest, give birth, and raise their young. Harsh weather makes survival difficult, but the true enemy may be the men who have a base camp near the Adelies' nesting area; their helicopter frightens the penguins away, allowing the predatory skuas access to their eggs. A few instances of anthropomorphism are unfortunate and glaringly intrusive: an emperor penguin is described as huddling with "his friends," and the story closes with the seals and penguins wondering whether ". . . the new arrivals . . . will share or destroy their beautiful Antarctica . . ." Some of the watercolor illustrations are too cute--baby emperor penguins an...
