Disappearing Acts: A Search-and-Find Book of Endangered Animals
by Isabella Bunnell (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Each page in this search-and-find book features a densely detailed landscape: rainforest, savannah, coral reef, and more. Within these landscapes are hiding threatened species such as the Adelie penguin, elephant, panda, and snow leopard.

At the back of the book are descriptions of the animals, their numbers, their habitats, and why they are endangered.

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

A Season of Flowers
by Michael Garland (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Snowdrops and crocuses yield to tulips and hyacinths, then dogwood blossoms, iris, lupine, daisies, morning glories, daylilies, geraniums, peonies, sunflowers, roses, and chrysanthemums as spring passes to summer, then autumn. At last the garden slumbers into winter under a blanket of snow, preparing next year’s procession of blooms. Like actors crossing a stage, flowers narrate the passing seasons in the first person, each one briefly proclaiming its unique and vital role in the natural world. Back matter descriptions complete this child’s introduction to a garden year.
