The Phone Book explores this communication revolution and explains how these devices work. Kids also find out about the global communications network and how it's linked by fiber-optic cables, satellites and microwaves. Activities, illustrations, stories and games present a lively history of the search for instant communication.

Earthdance by

In Earthdance, kids can explore the jigsaw of tectonic plates covering our rambunctious planet and discover what happens when these plates collide. They'll read about people who fought lava with fire hoses, a girl whose house split down the middle and a whole town that suddenly disappeared. Activities help kids understand what causes these destructive forces and how scientists are working to protect Earth.
Coyotes in the Crosswalk by
There are coyotes in the crosswalk and frogs in the swimming pool...raccoons on the fire escape and garter snakes in the garage. With all its many buildings, streets and parks, the city may be home to people, but it is also home to wildlife. Peregrine falcons raise their young on a Calgary high rise, red squirrels scold skaters from Ottawa snow banks, and in Montreal furry families of skunks move into vacant lots next door! All sorts of unique and wily wildlife have made themselves at home in the cracks and crannies of Canadian cities. Kids don't have to go to the zoo to see animals that used to roam free - they just have to recognize untamed city critters for what they are! Diane Swanson introduces kids to ten furred, feathered, or scaly urban residents, exploring their successful adaptation to the concrete jungle: how they move about, find food, communicate with each other, and make a home for themselves and their young. Douglas Penhale's lively illustrations provide visual detail and delight for budding naturalists in the urban ecosystem.
