Just as some people dig and look for pirate treasure, some scientists dig and look for treasures, too. These treasures may not be gold or jewels but fossils. Following in the footsteps of Dino Tracks, this sequel takes young readers into the field with paleontologists as they uncover treasured clues left by dinosaurs. Readers will follow what and how scientists have learned about dinosaurs: what they ate; how they raised their young; how they slept, fought, or even if they ever got sick. True to fashion, the tale is told through a rhythmic, fun read-aloud that can even be sung to the tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider.
The sense of sight helps an animal stay safe from predators, find food and shelter, defend its territory and care for its young.

Award-winning nature photographer and environmental educator Mary Holland shares fascinating animal eyes with readers of all ages.

Mary HollandLos ojos de los animales pueden ser grandes y redondos, pueden estar separados, o incluso, pueden ser azules. Cada uno de estos rasgos nos dan pistas dentro del mundo animal. Los lectores no sólo investigarán el sentido de la vista pero también cómo los ojos de los animales nos pueden decir en dónde se encuentran en la cadena alimenticia, si es que cazan durante el día o la noche, o la edad. Premiada/Galardonada como fotógrafa de la naturaleza y educadora ambiental Mary Holland comparte una gran variedad de ojos a través de este diario fotográfico.
Así como los gatitos y los perritos crecen hasta convertirse en gatos y perros adultos, los bebés de los animales salvajes también crecen. Estos animales adultos puede que ya no sean encantadores o adorables. Sus instintos salvajes empiezan a notarse. Pueden llegar a crecer mucho y hasta ser peligrosos. ¿Qué pasa con esas mascotas exóticas, cuando sus dueños se dan cuenta que ya no pueden cuidarlos pero tampoco regresarlos a la vida salvaje? ¿Y qué pasa con los grandes depredadores que están heridos o se enferman? Este diario fotográfico lleva a los lectores “detrás de las cámaras” en cinco santuarios sin fines de lucro y zoológicos de rescate, además de una granja (de atención) que han abierto sus puertas y sus corazones a los animales que necesitan ayuda desesperadamente
