A Huntsman Spider In My House . . .
by Michelle Ray“Delightful and charming . . . Deliver[s] a valuable lesson on treating all such creatures with respect, without falling into the trap of being preachy.” —Kiddiespace A Huntsman Spider in My House features a young girl concerned about the huge unwelcome guest in her room. Rather than reacting by immediately killing the spider, as commonly taught by society, she finds another way: She catches the Huntsman instead, and then releases it outside to let it live and contribute to the ecosystem of Australian fauna. The little girl’s actions show that insects are important, necessary, not so scary, and support the world too. “The young, nameless female protagonist of Sylvie Ashford’s charming book speaks in rhyme as she explains the habits of Huntsman Spiders to children as well as to the adults that read the book aloud . . . We thoroughly endorse educating young children to have more tolerance for the lower beasts.” —What’s That Bug? “The story follows her beautifully simplistic childlike thought process as she explores her feelings about it, and the ways in which the spider could be dealt with . . . It leaves you with a deep sense of satisfaction, and provides a practical fear-resolution solution to which kids of all ages can relate.” —Kiddiespace “Michelle Ray, author of A Huntsman Spider in My House, does a wonderful job weaving a story to teach young children not to be afraid.” —The Education Cafe

Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid: The Fraught and Fascinating Biology of Climate Change
by Thor HansonA beloved natural historian explores how climate change is driving evolution In Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid, biologist Thor Hanson tells the remarkable story of how plants and animals are responding to climate change: adjusting, evolving, and sometimes dying out. Anole lizards have grown larger toe pads, to grip more tightly in frequent hurricanes. Warm waters cause the development of Humboldt squid to alter so dramatically that fishermen mistake them for different species. Brown pelicans move north, and long-spined sea urchins south, to find cooler homes. And when coral reefs sicken, they leave no territory worth fighting for, so aggressive butterfly fish transform instantly into pacifists. A story of hope, resilience, and risk, Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid is natural history for readers of Bernd Heinrich, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and David Haskell. It is also a reminder of how unpredictable climate change is as it interacts with the messy lattice of life.
Hurricane Pinto: The Story of an Outlaw Horse
by Thomas C. HinkleThat pinto colt was spirited and strong, as well as strikingly beautiful. So it was not surprising that the cowboys of the Gunnison Ranch spotted him out on the mesa near Big Thunder Mountain where he was roaming with his mother, a half-wild range mare. All that fall and winter they tried to capture Hurricane Pinto, but he was slippery as an eel and too smart for them. It took five cowboys, tophands at the ranch, to catch him. And then he threw four of them, including Ben Williams, the greatest rider of them all-and raced after Ben with his teeth bared. Ben went over the top of the corral like a squirrel. Everyone decided Pinto was a born outlaw, except sixteen-year old Joe Gunnison. He insisted on taking the young horse, so it was really a relief to Joe’s father when two tough-looking hombres stole the pinto. But Joe wasn’t going to lose his horse. He went after him, and that was the beginning of a series of adventures and a thrilling escape through the horrors of Death Valley and past the Funeral Mountains. In the end, Hurricane Pinto saved the life not only of Joe but of Joe’s father. No one ever called him an outlaw again.
