I wanted to take a moment to tell you about some animal related books we've read lately. Different themes and ideas presented in each.

100 fact books. I LOVE THEM. So does my lad. Wish I could find more of them cheaply. They give good information and are easy to read with oodles of pictures to stimulate questions and draw from and more. Just love them. The one we've read recently is all about Monkeys and Apes.

Where the Buffalo Begin Oh, I wish I could adequately express how much the lad and I enjoyed this book. We read it over three nights so we could just enjoy the story. :) An excellent story about an Indian lad wanting to see if a story is true...and finding himself becoming part of the legend by the end of the book. Just a neat story. A book we picked up in a large assortment of books that I almost tossed out and am so glad we took the time to just read it. Has made me want to get more book by Olaf Baker. If you are doing a study on Native Americans or First Nations people, pick it up for sure
The last book I want to talk about came in a review package from Raincoast books. Feathered Dinosaurs is a book about.. well obviously dinosaurs that are feathered. It was a great read with excellent pictures, done up be Brenda Z Guiberson
My 10 year old snatched this book up almost as soon as I opened the package and quickly looked through and read it. He brought me this page to show me. "Look at its tail mom! Would you want to be swatted by it? And this bird can BITE mom.. can you see it's teeth!!!!!!" Well illustrated, with just enough information to intrigue a lad and draw out questions from a mom. At the close of the book there was a two page spread talking about the advantages these avian dinosaurs would have over the rest of the dinosaur population, it was a great conversation starter.
If you have a child that likes dinosaurs, or is just fascinated by the multitude of beasts that the Lord created, check out this book. You can find it HERE.
