West Coast Wild Babies Zusammenfassung

West Coast Wild Babies Deborah Hodge

In this second book in the West Coast Wild series, readers will meet the baby animals born in the pristine wilderness of the Pacific west coast, including land and marine mammals, fish, birds and amphibians.

Its spring on the Pacific west coast and new life is stirring! Wild babies are being born in the ocean, on the shore and deep inside the ancient rainforest. Wolf pups, cougar kittens, bear cubs and whale calves all begin their life in the pristine wilderness of this magnificent place.

Young readers will meet a fascinating group of fourteen wild baby animals including land and marine mammals, fish, birds and amphibians and learn about the special bonds between offspring and parents, and how the newborns move toward independence. Readers will see an extraordinary community of animals thriving in an interconnected web of life.

In this second book in the West Coast Wild series, Deborah Hodge takes readers through the spectacular land and seascapes of the Pacific Rim region, introducing familiar animals such as sea otters and eagles, and lesser known species such as pelagic cormorants and rufous hummingbirds. Karen Reczuchs beautiful illustrations are detailed and lifelike, and convey a lovely sense of warmth between the wild parents and their young. The text and art have been carefully checked for scientific accuracy.

Includes a note about the Pacific west coast and the need to preserve its rare and awe-inspiring wilderness regions, as well as a list for further reading and exploration.

West Coast Wild Babies Bewertungen

This informative introduction will be especially useful in the Pacific West Coast region, but it has a wider appeal to a broad audience in both locale and age. A succinct and satisfying first look at some fascinating creatures. * Kirkus Reviews *
[A] worthwhile addition to picture-book shelves, especially on the West Coast. * Booklist *
Stunning watercolor and color pencil illustrations bring the subjects into sharp focus in authentic settings. This series is a wonderful way to foster in young readers an appreciation of the awesome nature of the west coast. * Canadian Review of Materials *
[A]n absolutely stunning companion to the pairs earlier work, West Coast Wild: A Nature Alphabet. [W]hether were high in the trees or low on the forest floor, we not only have a unique glimpse of the natural wonders that abound on the Pacific West Coast but the warm relationships that animal babies share with their parents. * Globe and Mail *
