From the familiar buttercup to the dazzling Indian paintbrush, this colorful guide features 34 flowers that grow naturally in woodlands, grasslands, deserts, and wetlands of the U.S. and Canada. The book also looks at pollination and the parts of a flower.
From the magnificent condor to the all-American bald eagle to the tiny elf owl, this book profiles some 40 raptors of the sky. Readers learn where to find hawks, falcons, and owls, which meat-eaters haunt the night sky, and more.
STARS AND PLANETS looks at the features of the night sky in three categories: Our Solar System, The Universe, and Constellations. Star charts map the sky and help young astronomers navigate their way with the naked eye, binoculars, or telescopes. Each entry answers the question, "How Big and How Far?" and shows the heavenly body, whether it's Pluto or Pegasus, in relation to either Earth or us - through an easy-to-learn hand sky-measuring system.
