Birds of Prey

Janet Arnett is the former campus manager of adult education at Ontario’s Georgian College. She is the author of Antiques and Collectibles: Starting Small, The Grange at Knock, and 673 Ways to Save Money.

In this series, solid information, visual interest and an activity work
together to capture and hold the young reader’s interest. Birds of
Prey introduces readers to hawks, eagles, owls, and vultures with
fact-filled discussions of behaviors, physical attributes, flight,
environmental issues, prey, family life, and hunting techniques. Night
Creatures covers night sounds (from the peep of a tree frog to the howl
of a wolf), night travelers (toads, turtles, moths, etc.), hunters that
prefer the dark, nocturnal insects, nighttime activities underwater,
mole rats, owls, and bats. Wild Cats explores the behaviors and
characteristics of American, Asian, and African cats, from the house cat
to leopards, lions, tigers, jaguars, pumas, cheetahs, and their many
little-known relatives (sand cat, lynx, serval, caracal, margay, ocelot,
etc.)

Each book features sturdy construction, vocabulary-stretching text,
lots of color photos and drawings, sidebars, extensive captions, and a
glossary of words that appear boldface in the text. The photos are of
high quality and present their subjects in their natural habitats. Each
book includes a cardboard 3-D viewer, 24 full-color stereographic cards,
and a pocket for storing the viewer and cards. Highly recommended.
