Vendor: Penguin Random House
Type: Book
Price: 9.99

The science, history, and cultural significance of the shortest day of the year: The Winter Solstice!

The beginning of winter is marked by the solstice, the shortest day of the year. Long ago, people grew afraid when each day had fewer hours of sunshine than the day before. Over time, they realized that one day each year the sun started moving toward them again. In lyrical prose and cozy illustrations, this book explains what the winter solstice is and how it has been observed by various cultures throughout history. Many contemporary holiday traditions were borrowed from ancient solstice celebrations.
 
"Using clear, concise language, Pfeffer discusses important ideas behind the shortest day of the year, such as the change from autumn to winter as well as the concept of the Earth's tilting away from the sun…. While appealing to a younger audience, this treatment combines the cultural approach of Ellen Jackson's The Winter Solstice (Millbrook, 1994) and the activities of Sandra Markle's Exploring Winter (Atheneum, 1984; o.p.). Pfeffer uses an easy, comfortable tone for conveying the basic information, and the end pages will provide additional opportunities for would-be astronomers to explore the principles on their own."
—School Library Journal

Simple science activities, ideas for celebrating the day in school and at home, and a further-reading list are included.

Vendor: Firefly Books
Type: Book
Price: 14.95

Bird eggs come in all different colors, sizes and shapes. They're found in vastly different locations, too -- from clifftops to ground nests and everywhere in between.

In Bird Eggs: A Young Naturalist's Guide, ornithologist Mark Peck takes young readers on an exploration of bird eggs in all their variety. The book starts off with everything you need to know about eggs, from what they are, to how they're made, to what predators eat them. The following chapters cover key topics about bird eggs -- shape, size, color and location -- and feature beautiful full-page photos with captions and inset images. Here are just some of the birds and their eggs that you'll learn about:

  • Great Horned Owl eggs are nearly spherical, while Common Murre eggs are among the most asymmetrical and elliptical. Why would this be? Several scientists have concluded that a bird's flight ability affects the shape of its egg.
  • Ostrich eggs are huge, on average weighing over three pounds and measuring up to 6 inches long and five inches wide. Their size is surpassed by the now-extinct Elephant Bird's eggs, which measure about 12 inches long and 8 inches wide.
  • Killdeer eggs, which are buff with brown markings, are laid on the ground out in the open. The color and pattern of the eggs help them blend into their surroundings.

The book is capped with a chapter on conservation and protection, with information on how kids can help by being a citizen scientist, monitoring backyard nests and building nest boxes.

Bird Eggs is sure to enthrall and inspire the next generation of young ornithologists and bird lovers with its informative text and beautiful photos.

Vendor: Firefly Books
Type: Book
Price: 17.99

Feeling quite ordinary, a plain gray moth sadly compares itself to its more exotic kin, such as the Luna Moth, the Spider Moth, and the Hummingbird Moth. And the little moth feels even worse when a young girl sees it and says "Eww!" But things change when her brother explains that this particular type of moth is his favorite kind of insect. Maybe an ordinary moth is really extraordinary after all. Back matter includes fascinating moth facts, along with a special activity.
