This gorgeously illustrated, soothing treasury tells the true stories of how animals are healing our earth. Its comforting message makes it a perfect anthology for children at bedtime. Each hopeful story tells the tale of a real life rewilding or reintroduction project that is helping environments around the world to repair and thrive. Read the story of how the fluffy, plucky eurasian beaver has been reintroduced to a river in Devon, UK. The little critter was once native here, but while she was gone, the river flowed too fast and flooded nearby villages. Now she's back, all sorts of creatures are able to thrive again, and her dams have calmed the river to reduce flooding. A single creature has the power to solve a whole host of problems, just by doing what comes naturally. Stories like this are happening the world over, and show the far-reaching, positive ripple effects that happen when a keystone species is reintroduced to its natural environment. Children will be calmed and reassured to hear how when given the room to thrive, mother nature is wise beyond our wildest dreams, and can begin to heal herself, if only we will let her. Each story can be read at bedtime, or aloud in class as the start to a topic about ecosystems, natural history or conservation.

Enter into the wonderful world of insects and animals with lovely stories!♥♥♥ The stories aim to give illustrations of some of the varied means of self-protection employed by animals, their methods of home-building and of caring for their young, the transformations they undergo, the adaptability to their surroundings as shown by their coverings, and the tools with which the various animals are provided. These lessons attempt to present natural science to the youngest readers who are from the ages of 4+. Some of the lessons are easy enough for the first reader pupils, while others are better adapted to children of a higher grade. The forces of nature are personified and each object of nature studied is placed in its proper relation to its environment, thus making a story that is enjoyable not only to small children but to those "grown-up." From the book: "...Children, did you ever think how much your mothers do for you? They give you good things to eat, clothes to wear, and help to make a pleasant home for you. Let us look at some of the very "little people" about us. See how these little mothers take care of their little ones. Here is a picture of a little mother..." "...Do you see me? See my four beautiful wings! See my big bright eyes! Some little children call me a snake feeder. That is not my name. I have nothing to do with snakes. I am a Dragon Fly. I am a dragon to little insects..." This version is a reproduction of a valuable and classic book published in 1895 that from the collections of Standford University Libraries. Some of the reviews: "The Spirit of Observation is the best of Professors." "The child who is endowed with the spirit of observation learns for himself a multitude of things which forever escape minds that are indifferent and incapable of observing." "Properly presented, no lessons are so interesting and attractive to children as those which deal with living plants and animals; and none are more effective in the cultivation of habits of exact observation, accurate comparison, and sound reasoning." "It has been well said that teachers can in no better way train the perceptive faculties of the child than by teaching him to observe carefully the operations of Nature, but such observations should be intelligently guided under the direction of a skillful teacher. The French official program purposely insists on the very elementary character of the instruction given in the physical and natural sciences in the common school. The child at first studies those things that delight his senses, such as flowers and the pleasanter forms of vegetable life, animals, the most attractive minerals, and the most common forms of insect life."

A fun exploration of the darker side of the natural world reveals the fascinating, weird, often perverted ways that Mother Nature fends only for herself. It may be a wonderful world, but as Dan Riskin (cohost of Discovery Canada’s Daily Planet) explains, it’s also a dangerous, disturbing, and disgusting one. At every turn, it seems, living things are trying to eat us, poison us, use our bodies as their homes, or have us spread their eggs. In Mother Nature Is Trying to Kill You, Riskin is our guide through the natural world at its most gloriously ruthless. Using the seven deadly sins as a road map, Riskin offers dozens of jaw-dropping examples that illuminate how brutal nature can truly be. From slothful worms that hide in your body for up to thirty years to wrathful snails with poisonous harpoons that can kill you in less than five minutes to lustful ducks that have orgasms faster than you can blink, these fascinating accounts reveal the candid truth about “gentle” Mother Nature’s true colors. Riskin’s passion for the strange and his enthusiastic expertise bring Earth’s most fascinating flora and fauna into vivid focus. Through his adventures— which include sliding on his back through a thick soup of bat guano just to get face-to-face with a vampire bat, befriending a parasitic maggot that has taken root on his head, and coming to grips with having offspring of his own—Riskin makes unexpected discoveries not just about the world all around us but also about the ways this brutal world has shaped us as humans and what our responsibilities are to this terrible, wonderful planet we call home.
