|  | | Raccoon Moon
A guide through a year in the life of a raccoon family as the mother teaches her cubs to climb trees, find food and survive predators.
A round April moon rises over an old silver maple tree. "Err, err, err," cry Rusty, Rudy and Spice. The newborn cubs are only four inches long. They cannot see or hear. Mother raccoon gently nudges the cubs onto her belly where they nurse on warm milk. Follow the cubs as forage aloge stream banks, through cornfields, and into a garbage can. With winter coming, the raccoons must double their body weight. Will they survive until the warm spring raccoon moon? | |  | | Red Knot: A Shorebird's Incredible Journey
Traces the 20,000-mile annual migration of one Red Knot from the tip of South America to the Arctic Circle nesting grounds and back. A journal-style narrative takes young readers each step of a dramatic journey that pits a robin-sized shorebird against bad weather, fatigue, predators, and food shortages.
| |  | | The Robins In Your Backyard
"Cheerily, cheerup, cheerily," sings the robin redbreast to herald springtime's arrival. He has flown over 1000 miles to nest in the land where he was born. Join him as he courts a mate and together they build a nest and raise their young. Both parents feed their hungry nestlings every ten minutes from sunrise to sunset. As they grow, predators and other dangers face the young robins. Will they survive to follow their parents south in autumn?
