The World
of Birds
Jonathan
Elphick’s over-
sized, coffee
table book The
World of Birds
might just be
the single avian
reference
that you always wanted, or didn’t know
that you wanted. Almost half of its 600
or so lavishly-illustrated pages cover
the most important aspects of bird
biology in very accessible language. It
is not, however, for the avian faint-of-
heart. Nineteen pages alone cover bird
skeletons. Another 9 discuss feathers.
The rest of the book describes each of
the 195 existing bird families. Taxo-
nomic interests come to the fore as
new findings in DNA and molecular
research stand poised to change what
we thought about familial relationships.
However, the sequence and groupings
will be familiar to users of field guides.
This is the perfect book for advanced
high-school or college/university
ornithology students, or those wish-
ing to dive into the world of birds and
are seeking more information than is
found in field guides. Well-organized, it
allows you to pick and choose accord-
ing to your interests, and the over 1000
full-colour photos, maps and diagrams
enhance the text and highlight topics.
Still, as with the real world of birds, you
might want to approach this one with a
field guide (or two) in hand. –(AC)

Education and the Environment
Subtitled Creating Standards–Based
Programs in Schools and Districts,
Gerald A Lieberman’s Education and
the Environment is the most impor-
tant publication of its type in the past
decade. At the heart of the book is his
thorough-going
explanation
of how the
environment
can serve as
the context
for standards-
based learning.
Lieberman
explains the
importance of this framework and
how it was developed, and eventually
adopted by the state of California. In
the second half of the book, he delves
into how teachers, schools, and school
districts can plan and implement such
programs. He describes all the steps
involved in each part of the process and
shows how it can be used in particular
to rejuvenate language arts, math,
history and science education. Also
included are numerous examples of
existing programs that have already
been created with this new model of
environmental education. In short, this
is an essential book for all practitioners
and system-changers. –(AL/TG)

The World in
Infographics
Teaching
heavier topics to
young learners
is more effec-
tive – and fun
– with colourful
pictures and
diagrams. The
two books in
The World in
Infographics
series are no
exception. On
each 2 page
spread, The
Human Body
visually dissects
one element
of human anatomy while presenting
interesting facts about that element.
Those 10-14 years old would find the
detailed visual explanations about our
muscles, skin, circulation systems
(etc.) very engaging. With a similar
format, The Human World covers top-
ics such as population growth, global
wealth, water access, waste, recycling,
technology, transportation and tourism
around the world. For example in the
Getting Around section, we learn in
numbers and graphical representa-
tions that China built 13,897,083 cars
in 2010, whereas the U.S. only built
2,731,105. Each of these 32 page visual
guides will enable young readers to
understand and absorb the information
quickly and clearly. –(TS)

Get Your Kids Hiking
Jeff Alt’s Get Your Kids Hiking is a
well-organized, step-by-step book. As
a hiking expert who got married wear-
ing a backpack and brought his eight-
week-old son
as part of his
team, Alt knows
exactly how to
get children to
fall in love with
hiking. His pre-
scription? Start
them young and
make hiking
a safe and fun
routine. In the
book’s 228 pages, he shares his out-
door knowledge and offers guidance
about what hiking as a team might be
like. In the most comprehensive way,
he also covers how to let the children
lead and explore and how to keep
it fun on the trail while being pre-
pared for the worst. He also provides
checklists for the right clothing, food
and gear to bring along. This is an
inspiring book that will enable adults
to keep young children interested in
group hiking. Although written from
the perspective of a father, this book is
also appropriate for anyone who wants
to introduce children – from infant to
18-year-olds to special needs children
– to the world of hiking. –(TS)

The Great Bicycle Experiment
The Great Bicycle Experiment is a
true adventure story that will open
one’s eyes to a completely different
world of 1896 that included consider-
able innovation,
experimentation
and new ideas. All
three of these ele-
ments were found
in the story of an
all-black regiment
located in Fort
Missoula, Mon-
tana. Lt. James A.
Moss had the idea of using bicycles as
part of military transportation. With
the help of the Spaulding Company,
he formed a bicycle corps that trav-
elled across America. Along the way,
they endured considerable mud, heat
and rain, all the while carrying their
meals, bedding and weapons. In spite
of the difficult conditions, they proved
that bicycles were an effective mode
of transportation for military person-
nel. The book’s photographs offer a
wonderful visual aid in the telling of
their story. Another important part of
the story addressed by the author Kay
Moore is the treatment and respect
that these soldiers received during
their test trips, which occurred during
a very difficult time in American his-
tory. They were pioneers in their own
right, and I am very glad the author
describes their accomplishments in
such a way that young adults can read-
ily appreciate. –(SW)

City Fish,
Country Fish
No, this is not
a kids’ story
book about two
different fish
that meet and
have an adven-
ture (although
someone should write that book). It is
about fish that live in two very differ-
ent habitats: tropical coral reefs (the
city) and more general, colder water
regions of the oceans (the country).
The city/country analogy is extended
to a comparison of the fish communi-
ties and their ecosystems across a
number of topics: ocean transparency
and productivity, fish colour, amount
of space, shape, behaviour and special
adaptations. Each topic gets a two-
page spread, with limited text (two
to three short paragraphs per region)
and lots of excellent photos. In fact,
the photos dominate what is really a
glossy picture book. The city/country
theme ties the sections together and
increases understanding by relating
concepts to ideas that kids will already
know. Big picture differences are kept
in mind – you won’t get lost in minuti-
ae. Diversity is emphasized, as well as
the importance of the ocean’s health to
the fish and to us. A good introduction
to ocean fish for students in grades 5
(advanced) to 8. –(AC)

Starting
from Scratch
Who knew
that science is
a part of food
preparation? For
young aspiring
chefs in grades
4-8, Starting
from Scratch
will help them understand just that!
In her book, Sarah Elton provides
information on using your senses, and
the culture that is involved with food,
nutrition, and the science of cooking.
Each chapter gives the reader some
basic bite-sized information on topics
such as taste, culture, food science,
the basics of a recipe, equipment, meal
planning, and actual food preparation.
Simple but accurate cartoon drawings
by illustrator Jeff Kulak accompany
each topic. Another feature of this
book is that it introduces vocabulary
involved not only with cooking, but the
farming practices as well. If you have
a future foodie in your midst, start
exposing them to the science and FUN
involved with cooking. With this book,
they will become a chef for life! –(SW)

Dirty Teaching
Dirty Teaching by Juliet Robertson is
an amazing resource for anyone think-
ing about making the outdoors a part
of their curriculum. Like the author, I
am a huge advocate of keeping things
simple when taking students outside
and also giving
them the oppor-
tunity to learn
and discover on
their own terms.
She touches on
parent con-
cerns, school-
yard obstacles
and fears and
worries from students who may not be
confident outside. The book is broken
down into sections which will help
you during preparation, planning what
to do while outside with students, and
reflecting and following up when the
lesson is complete. The author offers
a number of easy, simple and cost ef-
ficient ways to make outdoor learning
a part of your everyday curriculum.
This is an amazing resource for grades
K-5 teachers. The book even includes
examples of outdoor monthly calen-
dars of easy things you can add to
your schedule starting from the first
day of school and a handy chart that
helps to cross reference ideas to sub-
ject areas. After reading the book (and
keeping it within reaching distance),
any teacher should feel confident in
starting the outdoor learning process
for both themselves and their students.

Saving
Turtles
Saving Turtles
is billed as “a
kid’s guide
to helping
endangered
creatures,”
but this short
paperback is really an exposé on turtle
rescue, rehabilitation and research.
Veterinarian and turtle rehab specialist,
Sue Carstairs, gives readers a verbal and
visual window on how turtles get put
back together after sustaining serious
injuries. Each two-page spread briefly
covers specific topics related to basic
turtle biology and extremes (oldest,
rarest, etc.), turtles in crisis (in the past
decade 80% of Asian freshwater turtles
have been lost for example), “head-
starting” (including incubating, hatch-
ing and releasing baby turtles), research
being done in the field (protection), how
to educate students and get involved in
conservation. One two-pager near the

contribute to what is about a 50/50 text/

and their teachers can use this book
as a brief introduction to all things
turtles. Apart from the gory details and
photographs of turtle rehab that may
especially appeal to the budding vets in
your class, this book will also provide
them with a global perspective on how
to save turtles. –(AC)

Winter’s Coming:
A Story of Seasonal
Change
Winter’s Coming tells
the story of Lily, a sweet,
young and inquisitive snow-
shoe hare who has never ex-
perienced the cold. Author
Jan Thornhill describes the
hare’s journey as leaves change color, temperatures fall,
and she hears mysterious mumblings about something
fast approaching called winter. Lily learns how different
animals who share her forest prepare for winter’s arrival.
She learns about birds that migrate, tree frogs that sleep,
and cheerful chickadees who aren’t bothered at all by
winter. In the end, Lily is amazed to discover that unbe-
knownst to her she too has been getting ready for winter
through her whitening and thickening fur. A delightful
book, which covers concepts such as migration, hiberna-
tion, and activation in a simple, easy-to-understand story.
This book is a wonderful tool to help teach children how
different temperate zone animals behave by instinct in
the fall and winter. Although the book is somewhat long
at 32 pages, with several words per page, my preschool
students (aged 3-5) were still able to follow and enjoy
Lily’s story. Particularly charming are the collage il-
lustrations by Josée Bisaillon that reveal how the hare
gradually changes color from brown to white as the
season changes. –(CKH)

Spirit Bear
“On a cold, dark winter’s night, deep in the Great Bear
Rainforest, a little baby bear cub named Annuk was
born.” So begins Jennifer Harrington’s tale of a rare
white bear cub. In the captivating, story of Spirit Bear,
Annuk is separated from his mother and siblings by a
fast moving river and must
depend on his own determi-
nation and the kindness of
a wolf named Kaya to get
home. This is a true adven-
ture story with consider-
able danger lurking around
every corner, including
several hungry animals
that threaten Annuk. But
in the end this Spirit Bear
triumphs as he is reunited
with his mother. The book captures with remarkable skill
the world of the Great Bear Rainforest, with its power-
ful animals and dense northern woods. The illustrations
by Michael Arnott are child-friendly, while remaining
realistic. The story not only opens the door to the land-
scape of British Columbia and the Gitga’at people, but it
reinforces the value of friendship and the comfort of a
loving family. –(CKH)

The Dandelion Seed’s

In Joseph Anthony’s The
Dandelion Seed’s Big
Dream, a dandelion seed
imagines its future as it
floats into the air. Hop-
ing to become a flower,
the seed instead is faced
with a series of real world
obstacles, such as being

Eventually, the seed finds a patch of spring soil, and it

With My Own
Two Wheels
Most Americans
see cycling as
a purely recre-
ational activity.
By contrast, the
documentary
With My Own
Two Wheels
focusses on the power of bicycles to
change lives. In the film, we meet
individuals in five countries who have
gained access to a much broader range
of resources and services than they
would otherwise have without bikes.
For example, a Zambian health worker
is able to reach far more patients. A
young girl in India can attend school.
A Guatemalan farmer increased crop
production for his community without
consuming more fossil fuels. And a
young Californian escaped the influ-
ence of gangs through his passion for
bicycles. In spite of the real hardships
endured by the individuals portrayed
in the film, their creativity is inspira-
tional. Most appropriate for eighth
grade and older students, this video
offers this age group a wonderful
“vehicle” for becoming more aware of
the world around them. –(AL/TG)

exemplifies how well this husband and wife team com-
bine words and pictures to convey simple yet vital nature
stories. Aimed at children aged four to ten, this book
would appeal particularly to those living in urban areas.
While capturing the life cycle of a seed, it helps children
dream about what they may one day become. The words
and text play off each other in a delightful way: what the
seed describes as a “cave” for example, is illustrated as a
parking structure. Though it is not mentioned in words,
we see in the pictures a group of neighbors converting an
empty lot into a community garden. The end result is a
powerful and fulfilling story, deceptively simple on the
page. –(CKH)

This is the Greatest
Place!
One spring morning in
the old woods of China,
a group of animals are
visited by a cheerful man
who has come to the forest
on a mission. In This is
the Greatest Place: The
Forbidden City and the World of Small Animals, Brian
Tse tells the tale of the Emperor’s builder as he tries to
create the finest place ever built. The animals follow the
man throughout the woods as he describes to them how
the world they know best – the trees and blossoms, the
hills and streams, the open plains, and even the sky –
construct the greatest place. His goal as a builder is to
recreate these spaces in the Emperor’s palace. Thus, the
pillars of the palace will be based on the trunks of trees;
the lattice on the windows and doors will be based on the
crisscrossing of branches and leaves. As the Forbidden
City takes shape, the forest animals feel a great sense of
pride, realizing that where they live is indeed “the great-
est place.” Charming, both in tone and in its pastel child-
friendly illustrations, this story not only explores other
cultures and history in a way that is appealing to young
people but also reminds us to pause and appreciate the
world around us. It also shows us that great buildings and
powerful rulers are less important than the natural world,
which of course supports us all. –(CKH)

E-I-E-I-Grow!
It might not be possible
to simply read out loud
Old Manhattan Has Some
Farms: E-I-E-I-Grow! The
familiar rhythm and words
are longing to be sung.
This fun book by Susan
Lendroth puts a new spin
on the enduring children’s
song, Old MacDonald.
Instead of a farm in the far-away country, the farm has
come to urban cities in North America! Each verse
highlights urban gardens found in each of six locations,
accompanied with bold and brightly colored illustrations.
The message of the book is clear: We can grow our own
food here! Whether it’s a rooftop garden in Chicago, a
former empty lot in Atlanta, or the new compost bins at
the White House, developing local gardens is definitely
something to sing about. While primarily a fun and
upbeat book for children ages 3-7, Old Manhattan also
includes a paragraph about each of the various gardens
featured in the story, making it an excellent companion
book for a children’s gardening program. If your home-
town is not included, there are tips on how to adjust the
lyrics for your city. Those less inclined to sing aloud,
can download a free recording of the song performed by
children’s singer Caspar Babypants. –(CKH)

50 Games for
Going Green:
Physical Activi-
ties That Teach
Healthy Environ-
mental Concepts
is a large col-
lection of easy-to-present activities
that will help you educate students
about a variety of environmental topics
while also enhancing and promoting
team building skills. Those topics
include the importance of reducing,
reusing, and recycling, carbon foot-
print reduction, climate change, and
global warming. Making it very easy
for teachers to use, the book provides
helpful equipment lists, setup instruc-
tions, step-by-step guidelines and
sometimes schematic diagrams. Each
activity starts with an Eco Thought, a
quick statement to get the students to
contemplate the larger issue at hand
before, during, and after the game. By
revisiting this thought at the end, one
can see if the teams have developed a
different approach to understanding or
troubleshooting the problem. The fol-
lowing summation of the book by the
authors is accurate: “Lessons are fast,
fun, ecofriendly, and easily modified
to suit a variety of ages, abilities, and
skill levels.” Any approach that we can
use to increase physical activity in a
fun and educational way is a bonus.

Stacy Torino
and Ken Keffer were inspired to write
the book by a 9 year old boy’s list of
outdoor activities he hoped to experi-
ence before he reached adulthood.
From that initial idea the authors com-
piled a collection of simple outdoor
activities including running barefoot
on the beach in the springtime, eating
veggies straight from the garden in
summer, hanging upside down from a
tree in the fall and building a snow fort
in winter. Divided by season, many of
the activities require minimal plan-
ning and materials. Each half-page
activity is broken down into three
parts; “the basics”, a “challenge” and
“did you know” or “tips and tricks”.
With all included activities, challenges
and recipes, this book makes you want
to jump up and run outside to play.
Preschool children all the way through
high school students would enjoy the
activity suggestions that the book
recommends. –(AL/AS)

for young readers to the father of pres-

player in the transcendental movement,
which led to the birth of the modern
environmental school of thought. This
short book, written by Kathryn Lasky,
outlines Muir’s life as a young man
and details the journeys and inventions
along the way that led him to become
the most influential American natural-
ist. His passion for wilderness preser-
vation is pleasantly
described within
chapters tracing
the fantastic adven-
tures that took him
from Scotland to
Wisconsin, Canada
to Florida, and fi-
nally to his beloved
true home in the
Sierra Nevada mountain range. Muir’s
love of all things wild led to his relent-
less petitioning to the United States
Congress to create The Natural Park
Bill. The illustrator, Stan Fellows, has
added drama and excitement to Muir’s
endeavors with sweeping watercolors
sure to delight and inspire the young-
est of readers. A must read for budding
middle school environmentalists. –(AL)

which divides marine inhabitants and
their varied ecosystems into color
coded and easy to learn categories.
Dan Green’s cartoon language and

volume is a
compilation of
little known facts that won’t over-
whelm the reader with a daunting

categorized by the area of the ocean
in which they reside such as “shore-
line gang,” “deep-down dandies”
and “frosty fellow.” Each character
is given a two-page spread; the left
highlights the facts and stats while the
right creatively illustrates some of the
main features outlined. For example
krill are described as prey needing to
keep “a sharp lookout” for predators,
and so the image shows the crustacean
wielding binoculars. The fun language
and two-dimensional illustrations are
so engaging that children may even
welcome this as a substitute to a tele-
vision cartoon episode! –(AL/AS)
