Two New Books from Dawn Publications

I just received the pdf's of two new books from Dawn Publications in my inbox. I am looking forward to reviewing them. Here's an excerpt below from the e-mail they sent me.

What’s in the Garden?              

by Marianne Berkes

Illustrated by Cris Arbo

Good food doesn’t begin on a store shelf with a box. It comes from a garden bursting with life, color, sounds, smells, sunshine, moisture, birds, and bees! Healthy food becomes much more interesting when children know where they come from. So what’s in the garden? Kids will find a variety fruits and vegetables, and a tasty, kid-friendly recipe for each one to start a lifetime of good eating. A "food for thought" section presents interesting facts about each fruit and vegetable, and a "how does your garden grow?" section explains facts about gardening and the parts of plants.

Noisy Bug Sing-Along               

Written & Illustrated by John Himmelman

Open your ears to the wonderful concert happening every warm day and night in our yards, fields, and woods nearby. Who are making those sounds? Can you sing along?

CHIRP-CHIRP-CHIRP 

                         KERAAAAAK 

                TICK-TICK-TICK 

                        ZEEZEEZEEZEEZEE

There’s a lot going on out there, and this book is a wonderful bridge to a whole noisy, busy world of insects. Learn who is making what sound, and why. In this book the reader is treated to scientifically accurate, up-close depictions of some very cool bugs. It explains why the bugs make the sounds they do, and how they do it—and it’s not with their voices! Plus the author offers several intriguing "bug games."

Scholastic Teacher's Essentials Catalogue- google your book

If you have a book published, find out where the publisher is selling it by googling your book.

Travelling through cyberspace, I came across this website that had my published book in it. I had to dig though. I mean I wasn't aware at all that the book, Finger Rhymes for the Holidays was in the Scholastic Essentials catalogue. It was under the heading Teachers.

http://www.scholastic.ca/clubs/cec/images/1213/CEC_12-13_04.pdf

I went to Scholastic.com where I discovered a short bio of myself but no books of mine were included on the website. On scholastic.ca, in a pdf, and under the heading Teacher's Essentials. It was a long search but worth it.

Nature's Patchwork Quilt Mini Review

A new book from Dawn Publications, this book exemplifies the wonders of nature. It explores habitats of the world. The illustrations are detailed and varied, full of life! I recommend this book to children who want to study about creatures and where they live. Here's an excerpt:
                                                  A patchwork quilt

                                                  has many pieces that

                                                  fit together to make

                                                  a beautiful blanket.

                                                  Nature is like a patchwork quilt.

                                                  It has many different habitats

                                                  all pieced together to create

                                                  our wonderful planet.
