Glynnis A Hood Bücher

Exploring the unique adaptations of semi-aquatic mammals, the book introduces remarkable species such as the electroreceptive platypus, fishing cats that cleverly lure prey, and the water opossum, which protects its young during dives. It highlights the ecological impact of beavers and hippos on freshwater habitats. Accompanied by stunning illustrations from Meaghan Brierley, this work serves as a comprehensive reference to these intriguing creatures and their diverse environments across the globe.

Colourful and lively illustrations draw you into a touching tale about how a community of all shapes and sizes comes together, just in time for Christmas. Hello, moose, says the girl. Hello, beaver! Hello, squirrel! Every morning she leaves her family cabin in the woods to visit her forest and wetland friends. With winter coming, Christmas excitement is building and there is an extra big smile on her face as her “hellos” echo across the forest. Her furry friends are also preparing for winter and are very happy to listen as they chew the last of the fresh stems along the pond, while the bear searches for a cozy den for the winter. All is right with the world until an unexpected challenge for the girl and her family brings team forest (and wetland) together to make it the best Christmas ever! It is the girl’s love and respect for the animals that bring their love and respect back to her doorstep.
