This book describes how crows meet, mate, nest, raise their young, and learn to fly, and their unique way of communicating. Crows are known to roost in large numbers in the fall and winter for safety, protection from the weather, and to find a mate. Young crows start fledging when they are 30-40 days old, sometimes tumbling to the ground when their flying skills have not yet developed. Mature crows will mob predators to protect grounded youngsters, while encouraging the fledglings to fly to safety. Crows are extremely intelligent, social birds. Their language is unique and not entirely understood by scientists. This introduction to the natural history of crows for children also includes a brief discussion of the difference between crows and ravens.

All that is within me cries out to go back to my home on The Hudson River, President Franklin Roosevelt once declared. For it was at his home in Hyde Park, New York that FDR could indulge in his favorite avocation--tree farmer. This book introduces children to FDR's love of nature through a lifetime in which he oversaw the planting of over a million trees on his estate. It tells of a childhood hiking the trails through his forest, later widening those trails into roads after polio deprived him of the use of his legs and only able to get around by car. It describes the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression, which came to be known as Roosevelt's Tree Army. It also tells the story of how FDR sent England's Prime Minister Winston Churchill a Norway spruce one Christmas to cheer up the English people. Today, FDR's love of trees is remembered at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Historic Site in Hyde Park, New York, where many of the trees he planted still rise on the grounds and surrounding forest.

A Fox Peeks Out of His Den at a White Forest
All is Silent
A Buck Stands Camouflaged
A great horned owl sits on a nearby branch
The fox climbs out of this den
He passes squirrels eating
He passes mice foraging
The fox reaches a stream where he takes a cold drink
A family of mallard ducks swims by
Across the stream, river otters rest on a rock
Suddenly, the earth trembles. Towering over the fox, a moose takes a cold drink
His thirst quenched, the fox heads home
He passes rabbits hiding in a hollow tree
Chattering crows greet the fox outside his den
After the snowfall.

So, on a blustery April morning in 1948, Earl stood on a Georgia mountain peak, beside a weather-beaten sign, with a pack on his back and only the birds in the trees for company. One hundred and twenty-four days later he stood atop Maine's Mt. Katahdin in triumph. In 1965, he hiked the AT from north to south and became the first person to report a thru-hike of the AT in both directions.
