Welcome to the World of Coyotes
A coyote`s keen senses help it survive. With eyes that can spot the smallest movement, ears that can hear the faintest rustle, and legs designed for racing, it`s no wonder some coyotes live to be more than 10 years old. These adaptable canines communicate by howling, and those who live in cities even respond to the sirens of fire trucks. This book explores the lives of clever coyotes at work and at play. About the series: Each book in the Welcome to the World of Series introduces children to wildlife through color photographs, lively description and amazing facts.
Welcome to the World of Wild Horses
These are the latest titles in this popular series that introduces children to North American wildlife through color photographs and fascinating text.

This book reveals their origins, their complex family systems, and how they live together off the land.
Extreme Birdwatching: Measuring Change on a Gal獺pagos Island
A treasure trove for science classrooms, citizen scientists, and budding biologists, this "you-are-there" account of a landmark study of wild finches going about their finch-y business captures the scientific process in action. Daphne is an island. Not one you'd choose for a vacation. There are no sandy beaches, resorts, hotels, or houses. No tall trees to make shade. The steep, rocky sides of a volcanic Gal獺pagos island are not inviting, and most who visit this part of the world sail right past. But Peter and Rosemary Grant are not most people. A husband-and-wife team, the Grants came to this singular place with a singular goal: to study two species of wild finch. For decades, the scientists and their students counted, cataloged, and observed finches on a remote mile-wide island. Through teamwork, painstaking observation--extreme bird-watching, extreme plant study, extreme seed counting--and careful beak measurements, the group of committed scientists proved step-by-step, over forty years, how finch beaks change in response to their environment. Weaving accessible biology and the scientific process into an inspiring conversational narrative, this second title in the Discovery Chronicles series--packed with resources and back matter--concretely honors the value of hard journeys, the vision and ambition behind tedious tasks, and the astonishing power of curiosity.
Velociraptor
There were plenty of giant animals around during the Age of Dinosaurs. This epoch ended 65 million years ago when a huge meteor hit the Earth and ushered in our current Age of Mammals. The Age of Dinosaurs saw herds of Triceratops move through what would become the western United States, eating ferns, cycads, and other exotic Cretaceous plants. Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most powerful, huge meat-eaters ever to live on Earth lived in the same place at the same time.The smaller dinosaurs could be just as strange and interesting, though. One of these is velociraptor, a small dinosaur that lived in Mongolia, at the eastern end of the Old World just across the Bering Strait from what's now Alaska. Velociraptor is famous because of the "Jurassic Park" books and movies, but the real velociraptor, even though it was a meat-eater, wasn't as big or dangerous as the ones that appear in the movies.In this book, you'll learn all about what made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate to where they lived and what they did all day.KidCaps is an imprint of BookCaps; each month we are adding more history books (just for kids!) to our library.
