Beschreibung

What if I told you it is possible to teach kids as young as 8 about the natural history and ecology of the Amazon rainforest? 

"Fables of the Amazon delivers important forest lessons, animal facts, and moral tales through humorous stories and vivid images that will broaden children's minds to the unique world of the Amazon." - Readers Favorite

The mighty Amazon jungle holds many secrets and remains a wilderness wreathed in mystery and folklore. From the 'El Dorado' fabled city of gold sought by the Spanish conquistadores 500 years ago, to the strange and precise antics of leaf-cutter ants, there is much to wonder at and learn.
But the Amazon today is also being destroyed at the hands of agribusiness and unscrupulous prospectors. Today's children - the future decision-makers and consumers of tomorrow - as well as adults all around the world need to understand the unique value and fragility of the Amazon in order to make the right decisions to preserve what are truly the 'lungs of the Earth'.
The conservation scientist authors Dr. Louise Emmons and Alan J. Hesse have decades of field experience in the jungles of South America. Their unique, personal knowledge of wild animals and the secrets of the tropical forest is revealed in these short stories, brought to life by the humour of cartoons.

A perfect learning resource for nature-loving kids and adults, as well as the perfect classroom book for science teachers. Get your copy today!

    Beyond Lies The Wub by Philip K. Dick - The slovenly wub might well have said: Many men talk like philosophers and live like fools. 
    They had almost finished with the loading. Outside stood the Optus, his arms folded, his face sunk in gloom. Captain Franco walked leisurely down the gangplank, grinning. 
    "What's the matter?" he said. "You're getting paid for all this." 
    The Optus said nothing. He turned away, collecting his robes. The Captain put his boot on the hem of the robe. 
    "Just a minute. Don't go off. I'm not finished." 
    "Oh?" The Optus turned with dignity. "I am going back to the village." He looked toward the animals and birds being driven up the gangplank into the spaceship. "I must organize new hunts." 
    Franco lit a cigarette. "Why not? You people can go out into the veldt and track it all down again. But when we run out halfway between Mars and Earth—" The Optus went off, wordless. Franco joined the first mate at the bottom of the gangplank. 
    "How's it coming?" he said. He looked at his watch. "We got a good bargain here." The mate glanced at him sourly. "How do you explain that?" "What's the matter with you? We need it more than they do." 
    "I'll see you later, Captain." The mate threaded his way up the plank, between the long-legged Martian go-birds, into the ship. Franco watched him disappear. He was just starting up after him, up the plank toward the port, when he saw it. 
    "My God!" He stood staring, his hands on his hips. Peterson was walking along the path, his face red, leading it by a string. 
    "I'm sorry, Captain," he said, tugging at the string. Franco walked toward him. 
    "What is it?" The wub stood sagging, its great body settling slowly. It was sitting down, its eyes half shut. A few flies buzzed about its flank, and it switched its tail. 
    It sat. There was silence. "It's a wub."

    Taiwanese immigrant Anna and her family make a shocking discovery that puts their American dreams at risk in this searing companion to In the Beautiful Country, which Gene Luen Yang called “vivid and hopeful.”  
    * A Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices List Selection * 
    After a rocky first year, Anna’s family has settled into life in California—their small restaurant is even turning a profit. Then her parents make a shattering discovery: Their visas have expired. 
    Anna’s world is quickly overwhelmed by unfamiliar words like “undocumented” and “inequality.” She longs to share with a friend the towering secret that looms over every aspect of her life, but her parents strictly forbid her from telling anyone. 
    As Anna grapples with the complexities of being undocumented, the strain that it places on her family, and the loneliness of keeping it all to herself, she has to wonder—if America is the promised land, why does everything she’s hoped for feel like a lie? 
    Perfect for fans of Kelly Yang, Reem Faruqi, and Jasmine Warga, this middle grade novel in verse, inspired by the author’s own experiences, focuses on themes of legal documentation, identity, and language’s ability to divide and unite.
