Owls of the United States and Canada: A Complete Guide to Their Biology and Behavior6 reviews
Wayne Lynch
The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007
Owls of the US and Canada
A wonderful book. The large format and abundant photography at first suggest a coffee table book, but Lynch's contribution is much more than that. The writing is intellectually luminous, displaying a good mind and careful researching. Though the author is very up to date on current research in the field, the scholarship is unobtrusive - the text is free of footnotes and citations though these can ...

Penguins of the World4 reviews
Firefly Books, 2007
Great photos and text between the same covers!
Picture books usually have boring text, and nature books usually have photos that look like the ones used to prove the existence of the Loch Ness monster. This book has great color photos of all 17 species of penguins AND informative, readable text. Lynch obviously cares about his subject and his readers. For those who want to know more, he even includes a bibiliography. If you are a nature ...

Baby Sloth (Nature Babies)1 review
Aubrey Lang
Fitzhenry and Whiteside, 2004
Educational and beautiful
This book is an excellent introduction to the gentle life of a sloth. The photos are beautiful and the text talks about the daily life of a sloth, when the baby leaves its mother, what sloths eat, who eats sloths, etc. The language is simple enough to engage my 3-year old and my 5-year old at the same time. There is also a one-page section with extra facts for the parents you can use to answer ...

Baby Owl (Nature Babies)
Aubrey Lang
Fitzhenry and Whiteside, 2004
As their nest becomes more and more crowded, the baby great horned owls stretch and flap impatiently. But they can't fly just yet. Even if one of them falls from the tree and must find its own shelter on the ground, the little one still depends on its parents' care. There are many weeks to go before the young chicks will be strong enough to fly away and find homes of their own.

King of the Penguins.
This book talks about baby penguins and how they grow up. The book focuses on king penguins because that is the breed of penguin that the author and photographer studied and observed. BABY PENGUINS is very interesting. I learned several things about penguins that I never knew before, e.g. that after several months the parent penguins abandon their children so that they can learn to swim and fish ...
