Puffin by Martin Jenkins
Take a first look at this appealing northern bird--and follow one diligent pair as they nurture their new chick. Everyone recognizes the puffin, with its black and white feathers and brightly colored bill. But how does the puffin live? What happens down in its burrow? And how do the male and female share the task of feeding and caring for their young? Discover the intriguing world of this charming bird in a collaboration that pairs Martin Jenkins's engaging, informative text with the warm energy of Jenni Desmond's illustrations. Filled with interesting facts, this delightful introduction to the puffin offers young ornithologists more details in the back matter.
Martin Jenkins, a conservation biologist, is the author of several nonfiction books for children. He says, I first saw wild elephants in the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya, where a big family of them was making their way across the savanna. I ve seen elephants lots of times since then, but I ll never forget that first family, strolling across the plains without a care in the world - that was magic.
Ivan Bates has illustrated many books for children. He says of GRANDMA ELEPHANT'S IN CHARGE, I have always found elephants to be fascinating creatures, capable of both extreme strength and tenderness. This, along with their mighty stature and a wonderful setting amid vast land- and skyscapes, makes them a joy to draw.
