Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This is a beautiful scratch-board illustrated alphabet book. The author depicts many animals and plants such as the white-tailed deer and the short-eared owl, as well as the endangered species like the greater prairie-chicken, each living in their native habitat. McGehee also provides the common and scientific names of all the plants and animals she illustrates. This is a well-designed, attractive, and educational ABC book. ( ) I like the artwork in this book quite a lot, but I can't quite figure out how I would use it. It seems a little too sophisticated for a child young enough to want an ABC book, but an older child who would be impressed by the art would probably be bored with an ABC book. Perhaps an older child who is interested in nature would enjoy learning about the plants and animals in the book. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Towering oak and hickory woodlands once fringed the tallgrass prairie of the Midwest. In a wondrous mixture of plant and animal life, big mammals like black bears and cougars thrived alongside gray foxes and ovenbirds. But as more people arrived, the woodlands, like the tallgrass prairie, were cleared with amazing speed. Now only small portions of this special habitat remain, and many of its animals and plants are endangered or extinct. Despite the great loss, many people are working to restore and enlarge what remains so that woodlands can continue to support a rich wildlife community. And so we can all enjoy a walk in the woods. A Woodland Counting Book helps children learn about the woodland family. From one splendid white oak to fifty busy carpenter ants, illustrator Claudia McGehee counts the wonders of the woodlands in this beautifully illustrated companion to her previous children s book, A Tallgrass Prairie Alphabet. As she follows spring to summer to fall to winter, returning at the book s end to springtime in one woodland community, McGehee introduces more than twenty species of plants and animals. From the white oaks that tower overhead to shelter the woodland citizens to the delicate showy lady s-slipper orchid and from the barred owls with distinctive hoots and calls to tiny evening bats which roost in hollow trees, we meet a wild world of woodland life. We find luna moths and serviceberries, shagbark hickories, blue spotted salamanders, wild turkeys, red squirrels, orchard orioles, and a host of other familiar and not-so-familiar plants and animals. A section of woodland notes gives common and scientific names of and interesting information about all featured species. These vibrantly colored scratchboard illustrations reveal the beauty of our woodland communities, guiding nature lovers and children of all ages through a much-loved landscape."
