The Tragic Tale of the Great Auk
by Jan Thornhill<p>For hundreds of thousands of years Great Auks thrived in the icy seas of the North Atlantic, bobbing on the waves, diving for fish and struggling up onto rocky shores to mate and hatch their fluffy chicks. But by 1844, not a single one of these magnificent birds was alive. <p>In this stunningly illustrated non-fiction picture book, award-winning author and illustrator Jan Thornhill tells the tragic story of these birds that “weighed as much as a sack of potatoes and stood as tall as a preteen’s waist.” Their demise came about in part because of their anatomy. They could swim swiftly underwater, but their small wings meant they couldn’t fly and their feet were so far back on their bodies, they couldn’t walk very well. Still the birds managed to escape their predators much of the time … until humans became seafarers.</p>

Traição entre Lobisomens
by Fabrício Lopes Rocha Vianka Van BokkemMeus pais e eu pertencíamos ao clã lobisomem de Sergei. Nós morávamos perto da fronteira entre Rússia e Alasca. Quando Sergei, nosso macho alfa , anunciou que estava levando o clã para o Alasca, fiquei confusa. Nosso novo vilarejo parecia o mesmo em que morávamos na Rússia. Alguns meses mais tarde, eu estava à caça de linces, leões da montanha, alces e ursos polares. Uma noite, senti vontade de ir para meu local favorito, próximo ao rio; saí furtivamente da cabana onde meus pais estavam dormindo. Eu me transformei em lobisomem fêmea e comecei a correr em direção ao rio. A neve recém-caída me me fez muito feliz. Meia hora mais tarde, cheguei ao meu destino: uma das minhas árvores prediletas tinha um buraco na parte inferior, e eu guardava roupas de frio ali. Quando terminei de me vestir, eu escalei a árvore e me sentei em um de seus galhos. Caía neve das àrvores à minha volta; o rio estava congelado mas, mesmo assim, eu ainda gostava dele. Um par de coelhos fazia buracos por perto. Eu era meio que uma solitária, e meu comportamento era visto como estranho pelos outros, mas não para mim. De repente, ouvi um vozerio e risadas. Eu avistei uma garota morena fugindo de um grupo de garotos. Ela era extremamente rápida; segundos depois, o aroma de lobisomem fêmea me indicou sua localização.
