Puffins and Penguins (Comparing Animal Differences)
by Arnold Ringstad (Author)

Booktalk: Explore the similarities between puffins and penguins to find out how to tell them apart. Discover how traits like habitat, ability to fly, and beak shape can be used to identify these black and white sea birds.

Snippet: A bird dives into the sea. It uses its wings to swim. Sunlight flashes over its black and white feathers. The bird dives deeper. It grabs a fish in its mouth. Then it rises to the surface. Is it a puffin or a penguin?

My Wild Cat
by Isabelle Simler (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: A merciless hunter, an unrivaled expert in stealth and deception–a cat is no ordinary pet! Sure, he may look harmless as he snoozes on the sofa, or under the rug, or on top of the radiator. Sure, he may seem sweet as he snuggles a stuffed animal, but don’t let that fool you! When you least expect it, he’ll pounce . . .

Snippet: At times, my fierce hunter goes on the attack. *

*From the tips of its whiskers to the bottom of its chin, a cat is very sensitive to vibrations, which allows it to detect changes in air pressure and sense when obstacles are nearby.
