Como los humanos, los animales pueden enfermarse o lastimarse. Las personas visitan a los doctores. A las mascotas las llevan con los veterinarios. ¿Qué les pasa a los animales salvajes cuando están lastimados, enfermos, o son huérfanos? La mayoría de las veces, llamamos a los rehabilitadores de los animales salvajes para que los rescaten. Este diario fotográfico lleva a los lectores “entre bastidores” a cuatro diferentes centros de rehabilitación. Enamórate de estos animales que viven en los traspatios mientras son cuidados hasta que recuperan la salud y son liberados a la vida silvestre cuando ya es posible hacerlo. Esta es la primera serie fotográfica de varias que van a presentar las diferentes formas y a la gran cantidad de personas que cuidan a una amplia variedad de animales. En el futuro, busca otros títulos de Ayudantes de animales que incluirán Cuidadores de Zoológicos, de Acuarios, Rescatadores de animales grandes, Rescatadores de animales marinos, Ecologistas, y Veterinarios.
Encuentra las plantas y los animales que viven en los 13 hábitats a lo largo de Norte América.Contado en rima narrativa, Veo, veo un hábitat invita a los niños a “espiar” las plantas, los invertebrados, los pájaros, y los mamíferos que viven en los hábitats de Norte América: el patio, la playa, la ciénaga, la cueva, el desierto, el bosque, la pradera, la montaña, el océano, las planicies, el estanque, el río, y el pantano. Los niños se divertirán descubriendo las características de cada hábitat mientras encuentran e identifican las plantas y los animales que residen en éstos, mientras aprenden acerca de lo que los seres vivos necesitan para sobrevivir.
Las canciones y poemas infantiles tradicionales sobre el desierto que son fáciles de recordar harán que los niños canten acerca de los cactus, los camellos y más, mientras aprenden acerca del hábitat del desierto, su flora y fauna. La rata canguro (tarkawara) salta sobre la arena del desierto en lugar del kookaburra sentado en el árbol del chicle. Y las teteras no son las únicas cosas que son pequeñas y corpulentas -mira nada más los colmillos y al hocico del jabalí. Prepárate para excavar con las suricatas, volar con los murciélagos y ¡sisear con los monstruos de gila! Ya sea cantado o leído en voz alta, en lo profundo del desierto hace que el aprendizaje sobre los desiertos sea todo menos seco.
