This River Beneath the Sky: A Year on the Platte

by Doreen Pfost

Each spring, formations of sandhill cranes crisscross the skies along Nebraska’s Platte River in one of the last great migratory spectacles on the North American continent. From across the globe, tens of thousands of visitors gather to witness a land transformed, “wild with birds.” But the central Platte River system is witness to even more than this wondrous annual event. It is also an abiding source of natural, agricultural, and economic life in three states as an icon of western history and as a place of wonder. In This River Beneath the Sky, Doreen Pfost seamlessly blends memoir and nature writing, tracking the Platte River valley for one calendar year, ushering readers through its diverse and changing landscape and the plants, animals, and humans that call the ecosystem home.From serving as a tour guide for visitors who come to see the sandhill crane migration to monitoring the population count on a bluebird trail, from exploring the human settlements surrounding the Platte River to wading the river with biologists, Pfost immerses herself in the rhythm and life of the area. Along with Pfost’s personal experiences of the river, she explores the river’s history, the land- and water-use choices that were made decades ago and their repercussions that must now be mitigated if cranes—and other species—are to survive and flourish, and the legislative and scientific efforts to preserve the diverse species and their essential habitat.

This Side of Wild

by Gary Paulsen Tim Jessell

The Newbery Honor-winning author of Hatchet and Dogsong shares surprising true stories about his relationship with animals, highlighting their compassion, intellect, intuition, and sense of adventure.Gary Paulsen is an adventurer who competed in two Iditarods, survived the Minnesota wilderness, and climbed the Bighorns. None of this would have been possible without his truest companion: his animals. Sled dogs rescued him in Alaska, a sickened poodle guarded his well-being, and a horse led him across a desert. Through his interactions with dogs, horses, birds, and more, Gary has been struck with the belief that animals know more than we may fathom. His understanding and admiration of animals is well known, and in This Side of Wild, which has taken a lifetime to write, he proves the ways in which they have taught him to be a better person.

Wonderfully complemented by Carson Ellis&’s breathtaking illustrations, this book is sure to be cherished by animal-loving readers everywhere!

This Strange Wilderness: The Life and Art of John James Audubon

by Nancy Plain

Birds were “the objects of my greatest delight,” wrote John James Audubon (1785–1851), founder of modern ornithology and one of the world’s greatest bird painters. His masterpiece, The Birds of America depicts almost five hundred North American bird species, each image—lifelike and life size—rendered in vibrant color. Audubon was also an explorer, a woodsman, a hunter, an entertaining and prolific writer, and an energetic self-promoter. Through talent and dogged determination, he rose from backwoods obscurity to international fame. In This Strange Wilderness, award-winning author Nancy Plain brings together the amazing story of this American icon’s career and the beautiful images that are his legacy. Before Audubon, no one had seen, drawn, or written so much about the animals of this largely uncharted young country. Aware that the wilderness and its wildlife were changing even as he watched, Audubon remained committed almost to the end of his life “to search out the things which have been hidden since the creation of this wondrous world.” This Strange Wilderness details his art and writing, transporting the reader back to the frontiers of early nineteenth-century America.

by Lois G. Grambling

Little Hippo is proving one tough customer as far as the Tooth Fairy is concerned. After all, is she to blame for the rain that's upsetting her delivery schedule?! Can she help it if wet wings don't work as well as dry ones?! Anxiously awaiting compensation for the BIG tooth he lost that day, Little Hippo wonders aloud about the Tooth Fairy's very existence. It's past eleven o'clock and "the tooth-for-coin exchange thing" has yet to take place. Could it be, he yells, "This whole Tooth Fairy thing's nothing but a big rip-off!" Arriving just in time to hear Little Hippo's angry words, the feisty Tooth Fairy gives way to her own frustration. IF there is no Tooth Fairy, she snaps, "Then who am I?...Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, perhaps?!" Fortunately for Little Hippo, seeing is believing, and, in no time at all, he's a firm believer in the Tooth Fairy and magic and much, much more.
