Description - Howl like a Wolf! by Kathleen Yale
Howl like a Wolf! Build a bower like a bowerbird, balance an egg like an emperor penguin, stalk like a camouflaged leopard, and do a waggle dance like a honey bee! In this beautifully illustrated nature activity book, kids ages 6 to 9 are invited to join the animal world with creative play that mimics the key behaviors and habits of 16 fascinating animals. From birds to dogs to horses, kids love to watch, imitate, and learn about animals. They also love pretending to be animals. But there's a lot more to being a frog than just leaping and croaking. This book combines natural history with creative play activities to encourage children to think like an animal. The book describes the fascinating behaviours of 16 animals: gray wolf, honey bee, penguin, leopard, frog, skunk, bowerbird, octopus, elephant, rattlesnake, bat, raven, beaver, humpback whale, and deer. For each animal, children learn key facts about the animal's behaviour: What do you like to eat? Where do you live? Who else lives with you? How do you interact with other animals? Creative prompts teach how to mimic the more subtle aspects of behaviours that are central to the animal's life and survival. AGES: 6 to 9 AUTHOR: Kathleen Yale spent more than 10 years chasing critters through the Rocky Mountains as a wildlife field biologist and holds degrees in conservation biology and environmental studies. She has served as Orion magazine's Reviews editor and has authored text for a number of nature-related books and games for adults and children, including Mountain Goats of Glacier National Park, North American Birds, Backyard Birds, and Baby Animals of the World. SELLING POINTS: . Imaginative, integrative approach to learning about animals. Focusing on distinctive behaviours of each animal, Howl like a Wolf! invites kids to embody those traits through creative play and learning to "think like an animal." . Evocative illustrations bring the animals to life. The lively design and illustrations of Kaley McKean invite kids to pore over the book, study each animal's habits and behaviours, and delight in mimicking the sounds, movements, and protective (and productive) behaviours. . Features 16 of the most fascinating animals from around the world. Representing a wide variety of species, including birds, mammals, insects, and amphibians, the selected animals teach about key behaviours such as camouflage, pollination, foraging, housing, and locomotion.
