Mary Holland (author)

Publisher: Arbordale Publishing ISBN: 9781638172734

Algunas historias se cuentan tan seguido que la gente comienza a creérselas, aunque no son verdaderas. Si suficientes personas empiezan a creer en este tipo de historias falsas, a las segundas se les llama mito. ¿Sabes qué es verdad y qué no lo es? ¿Los puercoespines realmente lanzan sus púas? ¿Alguien puede ser tan ciego como un murciélago? ¿Las serpientes son babosas o las zarigüeyas cuelgan de sus colas? ¿Y qué tanta madera puede masticar una marmota? Aprende qué es verdad y qué no lo es en la incorporación más reciente de la serie de Anatomía de los Animales, de Mary Holland

Pooper Snooper

Jennifer Keats Curtis & Julianne Ubigau (author) Phyllis Saroff (illustrator)

Publisher: Arbordale Publishing ISBN: 9781643518374

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!
