I went right out and bought this one after so thoroughly enjoying "Box Turtle at Long Pond", and it is just as wonderful. Stunningly detailed pictures combined with a very educational story make this a favorite of mine (and my son's!)

Box Turtle at Long Pond is a rarity among children's books - it contains accurate information! It is very refreshing to read a book to children that portrays wildlife in a natural setting rather than wearing clothes, driving cars, etc. Bravo to the authors for combining their artistic and creative talents to create such a treasure. If only other authors would follow in their example. (This book also contains beautiful illustrations!)

Two children have to go sledding without a sled. On the way they see evidence of animals and guess what they were. Would have been better if the illustrations would have shown the footprints, when appropriate. Saving grace: the blurbs at the end that explain how the children knew which animal had been there. Contains excellent black and white illustrations and will be of interest to the students from the 3rd grade through the 7th grade levels.

Lindsay Barrett George creates beautiful illustrations for this wonderful nature book. It's a lovely book to sit and read together--she asks "who's been here?" There are hints--a crushed leaf or a pawprint. The next page reveals the answer. Carefuly rendered, these illustrations and the puzzles they pose will definitely draw in any child, and inspire more than a few family nature walks, as children enjoy looking for their own natural mysteries. I highly recommend any books by this author/illustrator.

My Bunny and Me is a book that is simple in its complexity and deep in meaning. As a doctor in zoology at the university, I have encountered many bunnies in my day. However, I have never had the pleasure of being touched by a bunny such as that in My Bunny and Me. George's vast imagination and playful undertones enable the reader to form an unyielding attachment with the Bunny that will surly surpass all lifespans. This book is a testament to the relationship and understanding between owner and pet, or more symbolically, lovers.

Great story about a teacher traveling across different continents and sending letters back. Story includes clues to guess what animal she came across. Great illustrations.
