by Melanie J LaPlacaPitter! Patter! Pit Pat. Smack! The North Pole knew all about snow, but rain? This was a Christmas Eve rainstorm unlike anything Santa Claus had ever seen. Santa and his reindeer won't let a bit of rain stop them from delivering presents to all the good little kids around the world on Christmas Eve—or so they think. As they take off into the worsening downpour in rain gear for the reindeer, and a super waterproof suit for Santa, they expect it'll be business as usual. But then the reindeer start to sneeze. And soon, the sneezing not only knocks them off course, but right out of the sky! They crash land in the middle of a farm in a rain storm, which means . . . mud. So much mud. The sleigh is stuck, the reindeer are sick, and Santa isn't sure how he's going to get the rest of the presents to the children. Just then, Logan appears, riding the very same toy tractor Santa had left for him last Christmas Eve. With a rope and some effort, Logan manages to pull Santa and the reindeer from the mud pit, but the sleigh is stuck for good. As they warm up and dry off in the barn, Santa and Logan try to come up with a plan to finish delivering the presents. But the reindeer are too sick to continue. And Santa doesn't have a sleigh any longer. How can he continue his journey? A kind and determined little boy, a barn full of eager farm animals, and a little bit of Christmas magic may give Santa a Christmas Eve present of his own.

A Walk around the Pond: Insects in and over the Water
by Gilbert WaldbauerA water strider darts across a pond, its feet dimpling the surface tension; a giant water bug dives below, carrying his mate’s eggs on his back; hidden among plant roots on the silty bottom, a dragonfly larva stalks unwary minnows. Barely skimming the surface, in the air above the pond, swarm mayflies with diaphanous wings. Take this walk around the pond with Gilbert Waldbauer and discover the most amazingly diverse inhabitants of the freshwater world.In his hallmark companionable style, Waldbauer introduces us to the aquatic insects that have colonized ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers, especially those in North America. Along the way we learn about the diverse forms these arthropods take, as well as their remarkable modes of life—how they have radiated into every imaginable niche in the water environment, and how they cope with the challenges such an environment poses to respiration, vision, thermoregulation, and reproduction. We encounter the caddis fly larva building its protective case and camouflaging it with stream detritus; green darner dragonflies mating midair in an acrobatic wheel formation; ants that have adapted to the tiny water environment within a pitcher plant; and insects whose adaptations to the aquatic lifestyle are furnishing biomaterials engineers with ideas for future applications in industry and consumer goods.While learning about the evolution, natural history, and ecology of these insects, readers also discover more than a little about the scientists who study them.
A Walk in the Animal Kingdom: Essays on Animals Wild and Tame (The Wonders of Nature)
by Jerry DennisAnimals are everywhere in our lives. We follow them into the wild, we invite them into our homes, they inhabit our dreams, mythologies, folklores, and popular cultures. What is this powerful bond? Why are we so fascinated with animals of every kind? And why has our relationship with them always been riddled with such complexity and contradiction?A Walk in the Animal Kingdom explores the world of animals with the inquisitiveness, depth, and gentle humor that readers across the globe have come to expect from the acclaimed author-artist team of Jerry Dennis and Glenn Wolff. The book is an inquiry into animals of the world, their astonishing diversity and abundance; their mating habits, defensive strategies, and other behaviors; their extraordinary senses of sight, hearing, and smell. It is also an exploration of our profound connection with them, from the joys they inspire and the fears they arouse, to their prominence in our lives as pets, team mascots, and embodiments of wild nature—and the paradox that allows us to battle to protect certain species while ignoring others that are disappearing at a rate perhaps unequaled in the history of our planet. Like the previous collaborations of Dennis and Wolff, A Walk in the Animal Kingdom is certain to become a classic among books about nature—its wonders, its complexities, and our place in it.
