The World
of Birds

Jonathan
Elphicks oversized, coffee
table book The
World of Birds
might just be
the single avian
reference
that you always wanted, or didnt know
that you wanted. Almost half of its 600
or so lavishly-illustrated pages cover
the most important aspects of bird
biology in very accessible language. It
is not, however, for the avian faint-ofheart. Nineteen pages alone cover bird
skeletons. Another 9 discuss feathers.
The rest of the book describes each of
the 195 existing bird families. Taxonomic interests come to the fore as
new findings in DNA and molecular
research stand poised to change what
we thought about familial relationships.
However, the sequence and groupings
will be familiar to users of field guides.
This is the perfect book for advanced
high-school or college/university
ornithology students, or those wishing to dive into the world of birds and
are seeking more information than is
found in field guides. Well-organized, it
allows you to pick and choose according to your interests, and the over 1000
full-colour photos, maps and diagrams
enhance the text and highlight topics.
Still, as with the real world of birds, you
might want to approach this one with a
field guide (or two) in hand. (AC)

Education and the Environment

Subtitled Creating StandardsBased


Programs in Schools and Districts,
Gerald A Liebermans Education and
the Environment is the most important publication of its type in the past
decade. At the heart of the book is his
Page 44

thorough-going
explanation
of how the
environment
can serve as
the context
for standardsbased learning.
Lieberman
explains the
importance of this framework and
how it was developed, and eventually
adopted by the state of California. In
the second half of the book, he delves
into how teachers, schools, and school
districts can plan and implement such
programs. He describes all the steps
involved in each part of the process and
shows how it can be used in particular
to rejuvenate language arts, math,
history and science education. Also
included are numerous examples of
existing programs that have already
been created with this new model of
environmental education. In short, this
is an essential book for all practitioners
and system-changers. (AL/TG)

The World in
Infographics

Teaching
heavier topics to
young learners
is more effective and fun
with colourful
pictures and
diagrams. The
two books in
The World in
Infographics
series are no
exception. On
each 2 page
spread, The
Human Body
visually dissects
one element
of human anatomy while presenting
interesting facts about that element.
Those 10-14 years old would find the
detailed visual explanations about our
muscles, skin, circulation systems
Green Teacher 105

(etc.) very engaging. With a similar


format, The Human World covers topics such as population growth, global
wealth, water access, waste, recycling,
technology, transportation and tourism
around the world. For example in the
Getting Around section, we learn in
numbers and graphical representations that China built 13,897,083 cars
in 2010, whereas the U.S. only built
2,731,105. Each of these 32 page visual
guides will enable young readers to
understand and absorb the information
quickly and clearly. (TS)

Get Your Kids Hiking

Jeff Alts Get Your Kids Hiking is a


well-organized, step-by-step book. As
a hiking expert who got married wearing a backpack and brought his eightweek-old son
as part of his
team, Alt knows
exactly how to
get children to
fall in love with
hiking. His prescription? Start
them young and
make hiking
a safe and fun
routine. In the
books 228 pages, he shares his outdoor knowledge and offers guidance
about what hiking as a team might be
like. In the most comprehensive way,
he also covers how to let the children
lead and explore and how to keep
it fun on the trail while being prepared for the worst. He also provides
checklists for the right clothing, food
and gear to bring along. This is an
inspiring book that will enable adults
to keep young children interested in
group hiking. Although written from
the perspective of a father, this book is
also appropriate for anyone who wants
to introduce children from infant to
18-year-olds to special needs children
to the world of hiking. (TS)

The Great Bicycle Experiment

The Great Bicycle Experiment is a


true adventure story that will open
ones eyes to a completely different
world of 1896 that included considerable innovation,
experimentation
and new ideas. All
three of these elements were found
in the story of an
all-black regiment
located in Fort
Missoula, Montana. Lt. James A.
Moss had the idea of using bicycles as
part of military transportation. With
the help of the Spaulding Company,
he formed a bicycle corps that travelled across America. Along the way,
they endured considerable mud, heat
and rain, all the while carrying their
meals, bedding and weapons. In spite
of the difficult conditions, they proved
that bicycles were an effective mode
of transportation for military personnel. The books photographs offer a
wonderful visual aid in the telling of
their story. Another important part of
the story addressed by the author Kay
Moore is the treatment and respect
that these soldiers received during
their test trips, which occurred during
a very difficult time in American history. They were pioneers in their own
right, and I am very glad the author
describes their accomplishments in
such a way that young adults can readily appreciate. (SW)

City Fish,
Country Fish

No, this is not


a kids story
book about two
different fish
that meet and
have an adventure (although
someone should write that book). It is
about fish that live in two very different habitats: tropical coral reefs (the
city) and more general, colder water
regions of the oceans (the country).
The city/country analogy is extended
to a comparison of the fish communities and their ecosystems across a
number of topics: ocean transparency
and productivity, fish colour, amount

of space, shape, behaviour and special


adaptations. Each topic gets a twopage spread, with limited text (two
to three short paragraphs per region)
and lots of excellent photos. In fact,
the photos dominate what is really a
glossy picture book. The city/country
theme ties the sections together and
increases understanding by relating
concepts to ideas that kids will already
know. Big picture differences are kept
in mind you wont get lost in minutiae. Diversity is emphasized, as well as
the importance of the oceans health to
the fish and to us. A good introduction
to ocean fish for students in grades 5
(advanced) to 8. (AC)

Starting
from Scratch

Who knew
that science is
a part of food
preparation? For
young aspiring
chefs in grades
4-8, Starting
from Scratch
will help them understand just that!
In her book, Sarah Elton provides
information on using your senses, and
the culture that is involved with food,
nutrition, and the science of cooking.
Each chapter gives the reader some
basic bite-sized information on topics
such as taste, culture, food science,
the basics of a recipe, equipment, meal
planning, and actual food preparation.
Simple but accurate cartoon drawings
by illustrator Jeff Kulak accompany
each topic. Another feature of this
book is that it introduces vocabulary
involved not only with cooking, but the
farming practices as well. If you have
a future foodie in your midst, start
exposing them to the science and FUN
involved with cooking. With this book,
they will become a chef for life! (SW)

Dirty Teaching

Dirty Teaching by Juliet Robertson is


an amazing resource for anyone thinking about making the outdoors a part
of their curriculum. Like the author, I
am a huge advocate of keeping things
simple when taking students outside
Green Teacher 105

and also giving


them the opportunity to learn
and discover on
their own terms.
She touches on
parent concerns, schoolyard obstacles
and fears and
worries from students who may not be
confident outside. The book is broken
down into sections which will help
you during preparation, planning what
to do while outside with students, and
reflecting and following up when the
lesson is complete. The author offers
a number of easy, simple and cost efficient ways to make outdoor learning
a part of your everyday curriculum.
This is an amazing resource for grades
K-5 teachers. The book even includes
examples of outdoor monthly calendars of easy things you can add to
your schedule starting from the first
day of school and a handy chart that
helps to cross reference ideas to subject areas. After reading the book (and
keeping it within reaching distance),
any teacher should feel confident in
starting the outdoor learning process
for both themselves and their students.

Saving
Turtles

Saving Turtles
is billed as a
kids guide
to helping
endangered
creatures,
but this short
paperback is really an expos on turtle
rescue, rehabilitation and research.
Veterinarian and turtle rehab specialist,
Sue Carstairs, gives readers a verbal and
visual window on how turtles get put
back together after sustaining serious
injuries. Each two-page spread briefly
covers specific topics related to basic
turtle biology and extremes (oldest,
rarest, etc.), turtles in crisis (in the past
decade 80% of Asian freshwater turtles
have been lost for example), headstarting (including incubating, hatching and releasing baby turtles), research
being done in the field (protection), how
to educate students and get involved in
conservation. One two-pager near the
Page 45

back of the book is dedicated to ways


in which kids can get involved, but that
is only a small part of the much larger
picture the book presents. Excellent
photography, maps and other visuals
contribute to what is about a 50/50 text/
image split. Middle school students
and their teachers can use this book
as a brief introduction to all things
turtles. Apart from the gory details and
photographs of turtle rehab that may
especially appeal to the budding vets in
your class, this book will also provide
them with a global perspective on how
to save turtles. (AC)

With My Own
Two Wheels

Most Americans
see cycling as
a purely recreational activity.
By contrast, the
documentary
With My Own
Two Wheels
focusses on the power of bicycles to
change lives. In the film, we meet
individuals in five countries who have
gained access to a much broader range
of resources and services than they
would otherwise have without bikes.
For example, a Zambian health worker

is able to reach far more patients. A


young girl in India can attend school.
A Guatemalan farmer increased crop
production for his community without
consuming more fossil fuels. And a
young Californian escaped the influence of gangs through his passion for
bicycles. In spite of the real hardships
endured by the individuals portrayed
in the film, their creativity is inspirational. Most appropriate for eighth
grade and older students, this video
offers this age group a wonderful
vehicle for becoming more aware of
the world around them. (AL/TG)

Books for Young Readers


Winters Coming:
A Story of Seasonal
Change

Winters Coming tells


the story of Lily, a sweet,
young and inquisitive snowshoe hare who has never experienced the cold. Author
Jan Thornhill describes the
hares journey as leaves change color, temperatures fall,
and she hears mysterious mumblings about something
fast approaching called winter. Lily learns how different
animals who share her forest prepare for winters arrival.
She learns about birds that migrate, tree frogs that sleep,
and cheerful chickadees who arent bothered at all by
winter. In the end, Lily is amazed to discover that unbeknownst to her she too has been getting ready for winter
through her whitening and thickening fur. A delightful
book, which covers concepts such as migration, hibernation, and activation in a simple, easy-to-understand story.
This book is a wonderful tool to help teach children how
different temperate zone animals behave by instinct in
the fall and winter. Although the book is somewhat long
at 32 pages, with several words per page, my preschool
students (aged 3-5) were still able to follow and enjoy
Lilys story. Particularly charming are the collage illustrations by Jose Bisaillon that reveal how the hare
gradually changes color from brown to white as the
season changes. (CKH)

Spirit Bear

On a cold, dark winters night, deep in the Great Bear


Rainforest, a little baby bear cub named Annuk was
born. So begins Jennifer Harringtons tale of a rare
white bear cub. In the captivating, story of Spirit Bear,
Annuk is separated from his mother and siblings by a
Page 46

fast moving river and must


depend on his own determination and the kindness of
a wolf named Kaya to get
home. This is a true adventure story with considerable danger lurking around
every corner, including
several hungry animals
that threaten Annuk. But
in the end this Spirit Bear
triumphs as he is reunited
with his mother. The book captures with remarkable skill
the world of the Great Bear Rainforest, with its powerful animals and dense northern woods. The illustrations
by Michael Arnott are child-friendly, while remaining
realistic. The story not only opens the door to the landscape of British Columbia and the Gitgaat people, but it
reinforces the value of friendship and the comfort of a
loving family. (CKH)

50 Games for
Going Green

Carol Scaini and


Carolyn Evans
50 Games for
Going Green:
Physical Activities That Teach
Healthy Environmental Concepts
is a large collection of easy-to-present activities
that will help you educate students
about a variety of environmental topics
while also enhancing and promoting
team building skills. Those topics
include the importance of reducing,

reusing, and recycling, carbon footprint reduction, climate change, and


global warming. Making it very easy
for teachers to use, the book provides
helpful equipment lists, setup instructions, step-by-step guidelines and
sometimes schematic diagrams. Each
activity starts with an Eco Thought, a
quick statement to get the students to
contemplate the larger issue at hand
before, during, and after the game. By
revisiting this thought at the end, one
can see if the teams have developed a
different approach to understanding or
troubleshooting the problem. The following summation of the book by the
authors is accurate: Lessons are fast,
fun, ecofriendly, and easily modified

exemplifies how well this husband and wife team combine words and pictures to convey simple yet vital nature
stories. Aimed at children aged four to ten, this book
would appeal particularly to those living in urban areas.
While capturing the life cycle of a seed, it helps children
dream about what they may one day become. The words
and text play off each other in a delightful way: what the
seed describes as a cave for example, is illustrated as a
parking structure. Though it is not mentioned in words,
we see in the pictures a group of neighbors converting an
empty lot into a community garden. The end result is a
powerful and fulfilling story, deceptively simple on the
page. (CKH)

This is the Greatest


Place!

One spring morning in


the old woods of China,
a group of animals are
visited by a cheerful man
who has come to the forest
on a mission. In This is
the Greatest Place: The
Forbidden City and the World of Small Animals, Brian
Tse tells the tale of the Emperors builder as he tries to
create the finest place ever built. The animals follow the
man throughout the woods as he describes to them how
the world they know best the trees and blossoms, the
hills and streams, the open plains, and even the sky
construct the greatest place. His goal as a builder is to
recreate these spaces in the Emperors palace. Thus, the
pillars of the palace will be based on the trunks of trees;
the lattice on the windows and doors will be based on the
crisscrossing of branches and leaves. As the Forbidden
City takes shape, the forest animals feel a great sense of
pride, realizing that where they live is indeed the greatest place. Charming, both in tone and in its pastel childfriendly illustrations, this story not only explores other
cultures and history in a way that is appealing to young

to suit a variety of ages, abilities, and


skill levels. Any approach that we can
use to increase physical activity in a
fun and educational way is a bonus.

It might not be possible

Old Manhattan Has Some

familiar rhythm and words

This fun book by Susan

on the enduring childrens
song, Old MacDonald.
Instead of a farm in the far-away country, the farm has
come to urban cities in North America! Each verse
highlights urban gardens found in each of six locations,
accompanied with bold and brightly colored illustrations.
The message of the book is clear: We can grow our own
food here! Whether its a rooftop garden in Chicago, a
former empty lot in Atlanta, or the new compost bins at
the White House, developing local gardens is definitely
something to sing about. While primarily a fun and
upbeat book for children ages 3-7, Old Manhattan also
includes a paragraph about each of the various gardens
featured in the story, making it an excellent companion
book for a childrens gardening program. If your hometown is not included, there are tips on how to adjust the
lyrics for your city. Those less inclined to sing aloud,
can download a free recording of the song performed by

Things to Do in

is here to help
educators including parents get kids
outside. Authors
Stacy Torino
and Ken Keffer were inspired to write
the book by a 9 year old boys list of
outdoor activities he hoped to experience before he reached adulthood.
From that initial idea the authors compiled a collection of simple outdoor
activities including running barefoot
on the beach in the springtime, eating
veggies straight from the garden in
summer, hanging upside down from a
tree in the fall and building a snow fort
in winter. Divided by season, many of
the activities require minimal planning and materials. Each half-page
activity is broken down into three
parts; the basics, a challenge and
did you know or tips and tricks.
With all included activities, challenges
and recipes, this book makes you want
to jump up and run outside to play.
Preschool children all the way through
high school students would enjoy the
