Award-winning author Eve Bunting pens a tender tribute to maternal love. The love between mother and child is a deep, profound bond, and that is true whether the pair walks on two legs, flies through the air, or swims in the ocean. A mother knows how precious her child is. Through gentle, rhyming text, human and animal mothers tell their little ones why they love them, sharing what is beautiful and unique about their children. From wrinkly skin to sharp claws to prickly quills, mothers love their babies just as they are. Text provides a hint of the animal's physical characteristics, as sweet illustrations bring these mother and child relationships to life. Back matter includes photos and factoids about each featured animal.
Just after World War II, the people of McCall, Idaho, found themselves with a problem on their hands. McCall was a lovely resort community in Idaho's backcountry with mountain views, a sparkling lake, and plenty of forests. People rushed to build roads and homes there to enjoy the year-round outdoor activities. It was a beautiful place to live. And not just for humans. For centuries, beavers had made the region their home. But what's good for beavers is not necessarily good for humans, and vice versa. So in a unique conservation effort, in 1948 a team from the Idaho Fish and Game Department decided to relocate the McCall beaver colony. In a daring experiment, the team airdropped seventy-six live beavers to a new location. One beaver, playfully named Geronimo, endured countless practice drops, seeming to enjoy the skydives, and led the way as all the beavers parachuted into their new home. Readers and nature enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy this true story of ingenuity and determination.

¿Perros detectives? Gracias a sus extraordinarias habilidades para olfatear, algunos cachorros aprenden a ayudar a los científicos a investigar y rastrear a animales en peligro de extinción. ¿Tras qué pista van? La caca. Los perros que son parte de los equipos de detectives de la vida salvaje están entrenados para captar el olor de la caca (excrementos) de los animales salvajes para que los científicos puedan aprender de ellos sin tener que atraerlos o atraparlos. Al igual que muchos cazadores de caca, Sampson, el perro en este libro, solía vivir en un refugio, era demasiado activo y alocado para las familias. Esa energía e impulso es lo que lo hace tan buen detective. Está entrenado para seguir a muchas especies, desde salamandras hasta osos, pero su meta siempre es la misma. ¡Encontrar la caca y capturar la pelota!
Can you imagine swooping through the air like Hatzegopteryx, a giant of the ancient skies? Hatzegopteryx (hatz-eh-GOP-ter-iks) was one of the largest pterosaurs that ever lived; about the size of a small airplane. I am Hatzegopteryx, the second book in Arbordale Publishing’s I am Prehistoric series, gives children a glimpse into the life of the awesome Hatzegopteryx, from tiny chick to majestic winged predator, and how it made its living. Unlike many pterosaurs, this one was a terrestrial carnivore, spending its time hunting prey on land. Just like today’s animals, prehistoric creatures had adaptations and behaviors that helped them survive in their habitat—a environment that was in some ways quite different from what we see around us today.
Dog detectives? Thanks to superior sniffers, some pups learn to help scientists investigate and track endangered animals. The snoopers’ clue? Poop. Dogs that are part of wildlife detective teams are trained to catch the scent of wild animal poop (scat) so that scientists can learn about these animals without luring or trapping them. Like many pooper snoopers, Sampson, the dog in this book, was once a shelter dog, too hyper and ball crazy for families. That energy and ball drive is what makes him such a good dog detective. He is trained on many species, from salamanders to bears, but his goal is always the same. Find the scat and get the ball!
Big brothers are amazing! Did you know that big brothers are important in animal families, too? Animal big brothers do many of the same things as kid big brothers.

Are you a big brother or do you have a big brother?
¿Imaginas caer en picado a través del aire como un Hatzegopteryx, un gigante de los cielos antiguos? El Hatzegopteryx (hatz-eh-GOP-ter-iks) fue uno de los pterosaurios más grandes que han vivido; tenía cerca del tamaño de un avión pequeño. Yo soy Hatzegopteryx es el segundo libro de Arbordale Publishing de la serie Yo soy Prehistórico, el cual le otorga a los niños un vistazo de la vida del grandioso Hatzegopteryx, desde que era una pequeña cría hasta convertirse en un asombroso depredador alado, además de cómo hacía su vida. A diferencia de muchos pterosaurios, este era un carnívoro terrestre, el cual pasaba su tiempo cazando presas sobre tierra. Al igual que los animales del presente, las criaturas prehistóricas tenían adaptaciones y comportamientos que les ayudaban a sobrevivir en su hábitat—un ambiente que era de varias formas bastante diferente a lo que vemos a nuestro alrededor actualmente.
