Everyone thinks that owls, cats, and foxes are SOOO cool, but none of them are awesome the way bats are. Especially those foxes. Ugh, don't get me started about those guys. Bats, however, are amazing but you might not know this- YET. If you think bats are icky, I am talking to you! Bats are pretty much just your basic heroes and your selfless night defenders! Don't let any of those other animals pull the wool over your eyes! And, don't listen to those foxes; they are just kind of the worst. Don't believe me? Well, if you read this book, you will find out all about why bats are incredible and why those other animals definitely can't be trusted to watch over the night.
Ever felt misunderstood? We've all been in that uncomfortable spot where we thought, If only they knew the real me, things would be different.
Opossums deserve an extreme reputation makeover. They've been called dumpster divers, disease-ridden trash cats and worse
They've been underappreciated and misunderstood long enough. These lovable, gentle creatures are simply shy, introverted spirits who avoid the spotlight, but as cleaner-uppers, they are essential to our ecosystem.
Opossum Opposites playfully progresses through the life cycle of one of nature's unsung heroes and teaches readers of all ages about why we should respect and protect them. Readers gain a greater understanding of opossums' importance in the larger ecosystem we all call home.
Each page spread contains a short rhyming poem addressing an opposing pair such as day & night or scary & afraid. Additional information for factoid lovers is clearly separated from the poems for easy selection of age appropriate passages.
Welcome to the nighttime world of nocturnal animals!
Late one night, ecologist Jonathan Martin was searching for tree frogs in his Wisconsin backyard when he made an unexpected discovery. As he shined an ultraviolet flashlight in the direction of a high-pitched chirp, Martin saw a flash of bright pink at his bird feeder. That pink glow was coming from a flying squirrel. What was going on?
You're probably familiar with some kinds of glowing animals. Fireflies light up summer nights. Bioluminescent jellyfish and other sea creatures fill our oceans. But some animals glow only under ultraviolet light. This is called biofluorescence. That flying squirrel Martin found turned out to be one of the first-ever recorded sightings of a biofluorescent mammal.
Follow along with Martin and his colleagues as they delve into the mystery of the flying squirrels and discover that they aren't the only glowing mammals out there!
Children will discover nocturnal animals and their sounds, habitats, and behaviors as they journey through an enchanting night in this nature walk of a book. Musical prose and detailed, moonlit illustrations create a magical atmosphere through fields, ponds, and woods.
Read and find out about how a tadpole loses its fishy tail and gills and becomes a frog in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. It includes a find out more section with an illustrated guide to identify different frog species and a map showing where bull frogs can be found throughout the United States.
