Title: The Best Nest

Author: Doris L. Mueller

Narrator: Donna German

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-11-15

Publisher: Arbordale Publishing

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Long ago, when the world was young, the magpies' nests were the envy of all other birds. To help the other birds, Maggie Magpie patiently explained how to build a nest. But some birds were impatient and flew off without listening to all the directions, which is why, to this day, birds' nests come in all different shapes and sizes. This clever retelling of an old English folktale teaches the importance of careful listening.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful story

This was a delightful story all about birds and their nest building. I loved the book and also the fact that there were details on the birds at the back too. We just finished talking about birds in class last month so this was a wonderful addition to the book shelf for the month.

Quality you count on from Sylvan Dell

I always wonder how Sylvan Dell will surpass their last published titles. And then I look at and read the current crop and realize that they have wonderful authors, the most talented illustrators and subject matter that is both fun and informative. The end result is hard to beat.

There was a time, oh so long ago, that magpies built the best nests ever and were the envy of all the other birds. Maggie Magpie believed in helping other birds so she took the time to patiently teach the other birds how to build a strong, comfortable and safe nest.

The other birds (most of them) were not as patient as Maggie and listened to a few tips and then flew off without hearing all of the directions. Maggie gave up helping and let the birds fly off and build their nests the way they wanted to. The result? All nests are different sizes and shapes. Oh, there was one bird who listened carefully to Maggie's directions. Read the story and find out who that was.

The illustrations are stunning and both children and adults will be drawn to them.

Sylvan Dell books always have a fun and educational component to their books. The For Creative Minds section includes fun facts about birds, bird math, and an activity section.

Armchair Interviews says: This is a wonderful book for children, but should also be in every school library also.

How Magpie Teaches Birds to Build Their Nests

Maggie Magpie is an excellent nest builder, so all the other birds want to learn from her in order to protect their own eggs better. However, do they learn, and if so how much? Not only does the young child learn how each of the eleven birds build their nests, but they also become budding bird watchers as each bird and its habitat are illustrated in loving detail by illustrator Sherry Neidigh.

It is obvious that author Doris L. Mueller has put great thought into the building of her story, and young readers will eagerly follow along with Maggie as she takes time to teach her sometimes-impatient bird pupils. You can imitate the dove's sounds, and perhaps your teacher or parents can help you find recordings of the other bird songs as part of a classroom or home activity. Other information, facts, and a "Match the Nest Activity" are included. This is a fun and engaging book for ages 3 - 8.

Students will love it

Used this book to help introduce analogies

Great for teaching analogies to kids

This book is a great way to teach analogies to kids. I used this in a first grade classroom. Great pictures too!

Analogies

The new common cores standards being taught in schools across the US encourage children to think and then explain their thinking. The book is al good read aloud book that allows students to verbalize their thinking with each analogy.

Great book

This book has beautiful illustrations and is great for teaching children about analogies. I used this in a middle school classroom, but could be used for younger students as well.

Simply Fabulous!

Animalogy - Animal Analogies, written by Marianne Berkes and illustrated by Cathy Morrison, is an educator's dream when it comes to teaching youngsters about analogies. Vibrant, expressive and beautiful full color images spring to life from the pages of this wonderfully illustrated picture book.

Profoundly educational in its simplicity, Animology offers many easy-to-comprehend examples of analogies as they relate to animals, such as..."Ant is to tiny, as hippo is to big."

In addition, the educational section in the back provides cross-curricular teaching activities, interactive quizzes and more.

Animalogy - Animal Analogies, would make an excellent addition to any P-3 teacher's academic library.

Publisher's Summary:

What if you found a baby owl in your backyard? Would you know what to do? Where would you go to find help? Join young Maddie and Max as they learn a valuable lesson from a little lost owl in Baby Owl's Rescue by Jennifer Keats Curtis.

The brother and sister pair just wanted to play baseball one day. They never expected to come face to face with a wild animal! This story demonstrates the proper treatment of wildlife. It reminds all of us that we live in a world surrounded by wild animals, and those wild animals deserve our caution and our respect!

Members Reviews:

My granddaughter loves this book

I purchased this book from Amazon after seeing it at a museum store. My granddaughter loved it. It also teaches the proper way to handle small lost creatures.

Great story and great information at the end.

K picked this book up from his school library.

The pictures, the story all went together perfectly well. Two young kids find a baby owl in their backyard, and with the help from their mother the owl is put back into the tree. We learn a bit of a lesson that you should not touch an animal out in the wild. And that they are not pets. We learn the proper way to handle an injured or misplaced animal but only adults should do it.

You also learn about Great Horned Owls. At the end of the story, you get fun facts, an Owl's Life Cycle and what you should do if you find an injured bird which I think is great for all to know.

Overall a great story that both K and I enjoyed reading before bedtime.

Highly recommend!!

My son loves this book! We read it every night and he is always asking for "the owl book." Its also informational and interesting for the parents too! Highly recommend!!

Publisher's Summary:

Based on real events, listeners follow Astro through some of his travels that have now taken him across the US to his current home at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut.

We love this book so much we've given it as a gift twice. A great story for any animal lover. Plus, if you're ever near Connecticut, you can visit the real Astro and the Mystic Aquarium.

great book for kids

great book for kids

Great Story!!!!!

Used this for a summer camp. The kids LOVED Astro. They completely fell in love with this book. I would totally suggest getting this book for any kid who loves learning about animals, the kids I used it for were between 6 and 9.

The Steller Sea Lion is a perfect story to show readers why zoos

Astro: The Steller Sea Lion is a perfect story to show readers why zoos, protected nature preserves and animal sanctuaries exist. Astro was rescued as a very young pup. With no other sea lions around where he was found, the rescue workers kept him alive. Even after many attempts to acclimate him back to living int he ocean, he found his way back to the people.

Zoos and animal sanctuaries were formed to give animals who cannot live on their own in the wild anymore, a safe place to live where they are cared for. For this reason, it is very important for strict guidelines and regulations to be in place to keep these facilities top notch and in the best condition possible for the safety of these animals.

Jeanne Walker Harvey did right by her telling of this story to educate. Well done. A great non-fiction book to put on your child's book shelf.

Shennen Bersani brings the book to realistic life with her life-like illustrations.

Published by Sylvan Dell Publishing.

This is an amazing story of Astro who preferred Sausalito instead of surfing the Pacific Waves!

A young sea lion cautiously peered through the grate of a pink dog crate secured into the back of a pickup. Pacific waves gently lapped the rocky shores of the California coast. Gulls flew overhead as a pelican closely watched as the truck began its journey to The Marine Mammal Center. Astro, an orphaned Steller sea lion who weighed a mere 39 pounds, would soon find himself nestled into a new volunteer human family. Droplets of his "special smoothie made from ground herring, salmon oil, and whipping cream," from the nipple of a baby bottle dribbled from his mouth. His friends nurtured Astro until it was time to head back into the wild with other Steller sea lions in the ocean seas.

A crew from the Center gathered at the shore to release him, but before he left his crate "a satellite tag was attached to Astro's back so The Marine Mammal Center would be able to track his travels in the ocean." Back on the very beach he was found the waves embraced his body, but frightened of the unknown he soon discovered that ocean waves were not to his liking. Not one iota.

Members Reviews:

A wiset and gentle soul brings the butterfly to us through the eyes of a child.

Mary Alice Monroe writes from her heart, and this is one more of her beautiful stories for our children, and for us as well. It is a heartwarming book and will have you looking for these amazing creatures while you are outside in nature. I read it and could hardly wait to read it to the children in my life, they loved it and I highly recommend this book for anyone with children in their life. There are many children who would love to hear this story and talk about the awesome changes the butterfly goes through. This story opens up another world for us to explore. It is a must have book for all.

Beautiful story for children

Monroe has written an engrossing story for children which gently teaches the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. Gorgeous up-close photographs enhance the text. The curiosity of the little girl in the story will be infectious to young readers. This title would make a great gift from parents or grandparents and would be a nice complement to a unit on butterflies in the classroom. Especially of interest to people living along the migration route but lovely for everyone.

Present for a Child Who Loves Butterflies

I ordered A BUTTERFLY CALLED HOPE for my granddaughter who is six years old. My daughter rated the book outstanding for its story, beautiful illustrations, and the inclusion of butterfly migration charts. My granddaughter likes the book and called to tell me, "Thank you for my butterfly book, Lolly."

A Butterfly Called Hope is a great kids book

I love being able to purchase a book that tells a story and is also factual--a great way to teach a child to enjoy reading, I think. I bought 2 of these books as Christmas presents and will buy another when my great niece is a bit older. I believe she will love it as much as I.

Book Review

It was a beautiful book. It's story shared so much about a little girl and the cycle of the butterflie's life. My grandchildren loved it.

Publisher's Summary:

Great book!

This book was cleverly written and educational. I love the worksheets and extra material in the back of the book.

From rubber tree to rubber balloon

Review: Who doesn't love a balloon? From the time a child is coordinated enough to bat a small balloon to their oldest 100th birthday (that is still being a child, right?), balloons are fun. In "Balloon Trees" the story of how a balloon is made from the tapping of rubber tree sap to the finished product all blow up and bringing delight to everyone. The rhyming verse is lively and fun to read and almost lyrical.

This balloon was made from trees--

made from rubber trees like these . . .

The tappers start their work at dawn.

They pull their hats and work gloves on.

They slice the bark then add a spout--

white milky latex drip-drops out.

The simple cut the tappers use

collects the natural, sappy ooze.

The colorful pictures lend delightful educational qualities to the text about the making of rubber. I found following the little green bird through the book fun, too. An information, fun read for small and elementary children alike, this little book will get a lot of use in a school or public library as well as the home library.

There is a "creative minds" section in the back of the book that allow the parent and child to investigate and learn more about the process of making rubber.

DISCLOSURE: A complimentary copy of Balloon Trees was provided by Sylvan Dell Publishing in exchange for our honest review. Opinions expressed are solely my own and I received no compensation for this review..

A fabulous read for inquisitive youngsters

The book Balloon Trees, written by Danna Smith and Illustrated by Laurie Allen Klein, answers the question: 'Where do balloons come from?'

For the inquisitive child, Author Danna Smith has hit on a curiosity quenching literary treat. This book will delight young children who are fascinated by the concept of where things come from and how they are made. Told in rhyme, the story begins in a rubber tree plantation where a tree is tapped for sap. Illustrator, Laurie Allen Klein playfully incorporates the aid of a small bird which tags along as the story progresses from forest to factory and beyond.

This book is highly recommended as a teaching aid and for school and home libraries.

Balloon Trees

My Review: This is a great book that would teach children about how balloons are made and where the rubber used to make them comes from. This book goes into details on how the tappers start at dawn to slice the bark and tie a container to the tree and then the white milky latex drips out and into the container. The containers are then loaded on a tanker and shipped to the factory where a special mix and color is added to the white latex. The balloons are shaped, colored and cleaned put in a box and shipped off to the stores.

This book includes four pages of learning activities for creative minds. How rubber is the most important raw materials in the world with thousands of uses.

The first rubber trees grew in the Amazon area of Brazil.

Title: They Just Know: Animal Instincts

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-10-15

Publisher: Arbordale Publishing

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

How do some young animals know what to do and how to do it? Does someone teach a caterpillar what to eat? Who gives a baby shark swimming lessons? Sometimes young animals learn things from their parents, but other times...they just know! Explore animal instincts through engaging audio.

Members Reviews:

Looking forward to more from this author

Excellent book for reading to your toddler. The illustrations are beautiful and lifelike. Not so much a story as a series of educational vignettes. Our baby loves the book and asks us to read it over and over.

Entertaining & Educational

Arbordale provides great little books packed with real information with a story line that entertains and educates. in They Just Know: Animal Instincts the author and illustrator have presented the truth of how animals do the things they do without having any "lessons." They just know is all about instincts each animal has and how these animal instincts do not occur in children but must be learned.

As the illustrator creates scenes throughout the book, she uses realistic illustrations showing creatures naturally and realistically. By the same token she switches to fantasizing the creatures in humorous situations and scenes. You'll get a laugh or chuckle out of some of these bits. I just love the illustrations!

Again, Arbordale has a great little "For Creative Minds" section at the back that allow further in-depth study into the instincts and behaviors of animals. This is always a winning addition.

They Just Know is inherently a secular book. As a Christian, it is my firm belief that God has endowed the animal creatures with behavior instincts specific to their own need and design. I see and value this book as a great little entertainment and educational tool for children.

Who knew there were so many interesting factoids about the mouths of animals?

Every once in a while we come across a book which catches us off guard, captivating us with its content. Animal Mouths is one such book. Who knew there were so many interesting factoids about the mouths of animals? For instance, the Luna moth lives only for a week, and therefore does not need a mouth. Because snakes can open their mouths wider than their bodies, they are able to eat very large prey.

Animal Mouths is full of fascinating details and facts and every page is filled with vivid close-up photographs to illustrate the points represented within the book. This book is excellent as a teaching tool and is highly recommended for classroom and school libraries. Children who are intrigued by wildlife will love this book which is sure to educate and enthrall young readers.

This is a fascinating look at animals and how they are able to eat their foods ...

Is there such a thing as a critter that doesn't have a mouth? Almost everyone one would think that's not a possibility, but it is. The adult luna moth has such a short lifespan it doesn't need one. They "only live for about a week" so snacking on leaves is no longer necessary. Naturally the majority of animals do have mouths, but some have teeth while others such as the common snapping turtle "use the sharp edges of their jaws to eat both plants and animals."

Birds of course don't have teeth, but rather use their beaks to access their food supplies. A grosbeak uses his beak to eat seeds, but red-shouldered hawks "have strong, curved beaks to tear the flesh of the animals they eat." If you've taken a close look at photographs of birds in this and other books, you've probably noticed each one is different. They have adapted to the type of food it eats. Why would an egret need such a long pointed beak? Perhaps that's something to think about as you study animal adaptation.

Obviously birds don't have teeth, but what about a frog? Yes, they "have a row of very small teeth along the edge of their upper jaws and on the roof of their mouths." Unlike the common snapping turtle, a frog needs those teeth to hold onto their prey before swallowing them. In this book you'll get to check out many different types of animals and learn how they eat their food as well as get a close look at their teeth, if they have any. What kind of teeth do you up have to eat your food? You'll find out when you check out this book!

This is a fascinating look at animals and how they are able to eat their foods. There are a lot of interesting facts and photographs that will keep even the most reluctant reader interested in the animal kingdom. Mary Holland's award-winning photographs make the book a standout one in her nature series books for children.
