A Log's Life 5 reviews
Wendy Pfeffer
Aladdin, 2007
Read this book and then take a walk in a forest!
"A Log's Life" is a little masterpiece of children's literature that can become a child's favorite book. The amazing paper-sculpture photo illustrations of Robin Brickman and the sparse but powerful alliterative language of author Wendy Pfeffer unite to tell a important ecological story about the life OF a log and the life IN a log. No wonder this book won the 2000 Giverny Award for best ...

It is incredible how so much information is packed into a book for kids and is also full of colorful artwork engaging to the eye. This book about worms covers how worms help the earth, how they eat, make waste, reproduce (tastefully written of course), where they ...

Wendy Pfeffer
HarperTrophy, 1999
Have you heard about this one?
Sounds All Around by Wendy Pfeffer introduces young children to the scientific concept of sound -- how it is created, received, differently interpreted, effects us, and even how it is measured.
The book also provides many different "sound activities" or experiments that children can do alone or with classmates.

Wonderful story - incredible illustrations
Do your child a favor and buy this book!!! It's an incredibly delightful book filled with facts that are presented in an easy-to-understand format, with illustrations that are some of the best I've ever seen! Although I thought I knew a lot about fireflies, the information presented in this book was new to me and made fireflies (which every child loves to catch in a jar in the summertime) even ...
