"Fans will rejoice at the first sight of A Nest Is Noisy," promises School Library Journal, and they're right. From the award-winning creators of An Egg Is Quiet, A Seed Is Sleepy, A Butterfly Is Patient, A Rock Is Lively, and A Beetle Is Shy comes this gorgeous and informative look at the fascinating world of nests, from those of tiny bee hummingbirds to those of orangutans high in the rainforest canopy. Poetic in voice and elegant in design, this carefully researched book introduces children to a captivating array of nest facts and will spark the imaginations of children whether in a classroom reading circle or on a parent's lap.
Acclaimed childrens author, Dianna Hutts Aston, and award-winning artist, Sylvia Long, bring their talents together in this delightful nature series. Has a book ever left you at a loss to describe its beauty? That is how I feel about this series. There is so much I wish to say but my descriptions leave me feeling lackingand not able to do the books justice. Let me share a bit of the text from the sample, An Egg is Quiet. "An Egg is quiet. It sits there, under its mothers feathers on top its fathers feet buried beneath the sand. Warm. Cozy." Accompanying these words are detailed, vibrant water-color and ink illustrations. Scientific details are interspersed throughout. The next page displays, "An egg is colorful," with a two-page display showcasing over 30 different eggs, illustrated in immense detail. There is such magnificence here that I invite you to view sample pages on our website. Children will be spellbound by the stunningly illustrated, poetic writing texts. Whether your family loves nature or simply enjoys a quality childrens read aloud, you will not be disappointed. Old earth dating. 40 pgs, sc. ~ Deanne
