A Warm Winter Tail Written by Carrie A. Pearson & Illustrated by Christina Wald
About the Book: Do you ever wonder how animals stay warm in the winter? Well, they wonder how humans do too! In a twist of perspective, wild creatures question if humans use the same winter adaptation strategies that they do. Do they cuddle together in a tree or fly south to Mexico? Take a look through an animal’s eyes and discover the interesting ways animals cope with the cold in this rhythmic story.
Desert Baths Written by Darcy Pattison & Illustrated by Kathleen Rietz
About the Book: All animals bathe to keep their bodies clean and healthy. Humans might use soap and water, but what do animals, especially those living in dry climates, do to keep clean? Darcy Pattison and Kathleen Rietz team up again to explore the desert to find out how snakes, spiders, and birds bathe. This surprising book teaches children about hygiene and how some exciting desert creatures manage to stay clean without the help of soap and water.
Champ’s Story: Dogs Get Cancer Too! Written by Sherry North and Illustrated by Kathleen Rietz
Children facing cancer—whether their own, a family member’s, a friend’s, or even a pet’s—will find help in understanding the disease through this book. A young boy discovers his dog’s lump, which is then diagnosed with those dreaded words: “It’s cancer.” The boy becomes a loving caretaker to his dog, who undergoes the same types of treatments and many of the same reactions as a human under similar circumstances (transference). Medical writer and award-winning children’s author, Sherry North artfully weaves the serious subject into an empathetic story that even young children can understand.
The Tree That Bear Climbed Written by Marianne Berkes & Illustrated by Kathleen Rietz
About the Book: Everyone knows about the house that Jack built, but this is The Tree That Bear Climbed. What makes this tree so fascinating to bear? Starting with the roots that anchor the tree, this chain of events story in cumulative verse explores many different things that help a tree stand tall. It also lends itself to further discussion with fun repetition and detailed picture clues, stimulating a child’s curiosity. Why does the bear climb the tree and what happens when he arrives at his goal?
The Most Dangerous Written by Terri Fields & Illustrated by Laura Jacques
About the Book: Dangerous animals from all over the world gather for the Most Dangerous Animal of All Contest. Snakes, spiders, sharks . . . who will the winner be? Deadly poison, huge teeth, razor -sharp horns, and fearsome feet are just a few of the ways that animals kill. Predators mean to kill. Prey simply defend themselves. And yet, the unexpected most deadly-animal doesn’t mean to harm at all!
The Fort on Fourth Street. A Story about the Six Simple Machines by Lois Spangler and Illustrated by Christina Wald
About the Book: When a young child decides to build a fort in the backyard, Grandpa comes forward to help. But they can’t do it alone—they get help from the six simple machines: lever, pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axle, screw, and wedge. Told in cumulative rhyme, similar to The House That Jack Built, this story follows grandfather and grandchild as they build a fort together from start to finish.
A Butterfly called Hope by NY Times best selling author Mary Alice Monroe with Linda Love, photography by Barbara J Bergwerf.
About the Book: The colorful flowers in Mama’s garden reveal a strange-looking creature. “What is it? Does it sting, does it bite?” Join in this photographic journey as the young girl and her mother care for the caterpillar. Watch as it transforms into a chrysalis and then emerges as a beautiful monarch butterfly. How can the young girl “claim” the butterfly as her own but still let it go free?
The Perfect Pet by Samantha Bell
About the Book: After begging for a pet, a child’s mother finally says “yes.” But which animal will be the best pet? Using animal classification and habitat needs, the child narrows it down from Kingdom Animalia, through invertebrates to vertebrates. Reptiles and amphibians are out, and birds and fish are soon off the list. That leaves mammals, but which one? An elephant won’t fit through the door, and a tiger would be too hard to walk. What’s a child to do?

A great selection of animal books. My daughter has been reading more and more about animals lately. She would love to read The Tree that Bear Climbed, The Most Dangerous and A Butterfly called Hope. I believe her little brother would even sit still long enough to hear her read the books. Happy St. Patrick’s Day Ella!
Comment by Christine A. | March 17, 2014 |
Thanks for taking part in the Lucky Leprechaun Blog Hop – I feel lucky, must be that teensy bit of Irish in me!
My grandkids are all avid readers. I think the books they would enjoy the most are A Warm Winter Tale, Desert Baths and Champ’s Story. Happy St Patrick’s Day, Ella!

Thanks for the chance to win!
Comment by Summer G | March 17, 2014 |
My favorite is The Perfect Pet. With Common Core requiring more nonfiction reading and writing, the comparing of different pets is perfect. A Warm Winter Tail and The Tree That Bear Climbed are my other favorites.
Comment by L Green | March 17, 2014 |

Comment by Heather Swarthout | March 17, 2014 |
I would pick A Warm Winter Tail, The Perfect Pet and The Most Dangerous. I like how many the books expose children to reading about different facts about animals such as life cycle and adaptability
Comment by Merry | March 17, 2014 |
The Perfect Pet would be a well read book in our house. My littles would love it.
Comment by simplysherryl | March 17, 2014 |

My three little ones would love to get any one of these. My oldest is obsessed with anything pet or bug related. She catches lizards and snakes like Dennis the Menace.
Comment by Bending The Spine (@BendingTheSpine) | March 17, 2014 |

I always buy books for the grandkids for presents. These books would be a great addition to their collections.
Comment by Laura Smith | March 17, 2014 |
This is a wonderful selection of books. My children are fascinated by animals of all kinds. They are particularly fascinated by dangerous creatures, so I know they’d love The Most Dangerous, and Desert Baths. The Perfect Pet would help them advance their knowledge of the animal kingdom, something they certainly need to do. I appreciate your wonderful books and terrific contest. michelle_willms at yahoo dot com.

My kids love books about animals! My son would really enjoy The Most Dangerous and I think my daughter would like the story about the butterfly.
Comment by Suzie Williams | March 19, 2014 |
These are wonderful book choices. The book, ‘The Most Dangerous’ has a cover that I think would be exciting and draw my nephew’s interest. The content is something he would find interesting as well. I would be most interested in sharing the following books with children, ‘The Most Dangerous,’ ‘A Butterfly Called Hope,’ and Desert Baths. Thank you Ms. Ella 🙂

Also I’m an email subscriber 🙂
Comment by Alina | March 20, 2014 |
My son is really into sharks so I know he would love The Most Dangerous. He also wants a pet so I know he would like The Perfect Pet. This book also reminds me of the book Dear Zoo and I know my son really liked that book. I think he would also like Desert Baths because the animals in there would be something new to him.
Comment by Alyn Y | March 20, 2014 |
