My Mom, the Airplane

There are not many whooping cranes in the world. People
have to protect these birds and help them live safely. There are
some special places in North America where people protect the
whooping crane’s eggs. They then take care of the baby cranes.
These cranes have no mothers to follow, so they follow a
scientist who wears a crane suit and they walk with a small
airplane. They listen to the airplane, too. Soon they are happy
to fly with the airplanes—they think the airplane is their mother!
Before the weather gets cold, cranes have to fly to warm
places. They don’t have a mother to teach them where to
go. So they follow an airplane. Some journeys are more than
70 days!
And in the spring, when the weather is warm again,
they fly back on their own! These birds can then teach a All birds come

Dear Carlos,
My father has a new job. He is a zookeeper! He takes care of
the elephants. He gets up at 6:30. After breakfast he always goes to
see the elephants. They are called Archie and Tina. He usually gives
the elephants a bath first! He uses a lot of water. After that he feeds
them. They eat lots of potatoes and carrots. Before lunch he cleans
the elephant barn. Sometimes, in the afternoon,
he walks with the elephants and helps them
to exercise.
He loves his new job. I want to visit him
at the zoo!

Eye in the Sky

Satellites are machines in space that circle Earth. They help
us talk to people on the other side of the planet. They can also
study the planet’s weather. This satellite is called GeoEye 1. It is 681 km
the same size as a big car. It takes photos of our planet. These (423 miles)
pictures can show our continents and oceans. They can show
our streets and houses, too!
On the Internet there are many photos and maps of Earth.
We can use these images to help us to explore our world.
This is a photo of the world. You

can see the seven continents.

Hot Air Balloons

It’s always exciting to see a colorful hot air balloon
in the sky—but here there are hundreds! In October
every year, there is an International Balloon Fiesta in
Albuquerque, USA. About 600 balloons are up in the
sky at the same time. And many of these are shaped
like animals, fish, and even spaceships!
How do hot air balloons fly? When the balloon
is on the ground, people light gas to make a small
fire. This heats the air in the balloon. Hot air
always goes up. So, the balloon goes up slowly into
the air. The pilot stands in the basket and lights the
gas to go higher. The wind blows the balloon along.
Usually there is a group of people on the ground
called the “chase team.” They are in a truck, and they
follow the balloon. They use a radio to talk to the pilot.
The pilot looks for a safe place to land the balloon and tells the
chase team where to go. Then, the chase team takes the balloon
and the pilot back home!

Catch the Bus in Curitiba!

My city of Curitiba, Brazil, is famous for its bus system. It is
called the BRT. There are more than a thousand buses in our city.
There are many cars and trucks on the roads, but the buses use
a special lane. They can move fast. In some parts of the city, you
can catch a bus every 90 seconds. Many buses are typical size,
but some of the buses are very long. They carry a lot of people.
The buses are modern, and some of the bus stops are, too. At
these stops, people can get on and off the bus in 15 seconds.

Amazing Animal Senses

Many animals can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch—
but they do it in a different way from humans.
Imagine you have to walk on your dinner to taste it!
Well, a butterfly does—it tastes with its feet!
People use the ends of their fingers to touch. Seals use
their whiskers. Their sense of touch is amazing. They can
feel fish through the water 180 meters (590 feet) away. whisker
Spiders don’t have ears. They hear using hundreds of

small hairs on their legs.
We can smell delicious food in front of a restaurant.
But we can’t smell food that is in a different town! Bears
have a fantastic sense of smell. They can smell things
that are 32 kilometers (20 miles) away.
Chameleons can see very well—look at their eyes! One
red-tailed
eye looks up, and the other eye looks down. They can hawk
see all around them.
