Baby Birds: An Artist Looks into the Nest
by Julie ZickefooseIf you've ever wondered what goes on in bird nests, or what happens after a fledgling leaves the nest, come along on Julie's sensitive exploration of often-uncharted ornithological ground. This beautiful book is as much an art book as it is a natural history, something readers have come to expect from Julie Zickefoose. More than 400 watercolor paintings show the breathtakingly swift development of seventeen different species of wild birds. Sixteen of those species nest on Julie's wildlife sanctuary, so she knows the birds intimately, and writes about them with authority. To create the bulk of this extraordinary work, Julie would borrow a wild nestling, draw it, then return it to its nest every day until it fledged. Some were orphans she raised by hand, giving the ultimate insider's glimpse into their lives. In sparkling prose, Julie shares a lifetime of insight about bird breeding biology, growth, and cognition. As an artist and wildlife rehabilitator, Julie possesses a unique skill set that includes sketching and painting rapidly from life as well as handling delicate hatchlings. She is uniquely positioned to create such an opus, and in fact, nothing like it has ever been attempted. Julie has many fans, and she will gain many more with this unparalleled work.

Baby Brother
by Tanneke WigersmaFrom Children's Literature written by Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz The timeless tale of the arrival of a new baby in the family is told with a different twist, as a young girl writes to her grandma. Her letter is filled with news of her cat, Stripe, who has developed "a big belly" and is no longer afraid of the neighbor's dog. Finally Stripe becomes restless, settles in the box made for her, and has five "very cute" little "stripes." As the brief text goes along the double pages following the activities of the cat, an additional visual story is being told as we see the mother, obviously pregnant as well, preparing a bassinet but ignored by the girl. Her final words to her grandma: "By the way, I also have a new baby brother" show her priorities. The spare text is accompanied by a minimal visual tale. Ink lines and transparent watercolors define only the main characters and a few props set against the white pages. The warm, happy scenes draw us into the girl's happy acceptance of the natural events. School Library Journal
