The Worldof BirdsJonathanElphick’s over-sized, coffeetable book TheWorld of Birds might just bethe single avianreference

that you always wanted, or didn’t knowthat you wanted. Almost half of its 600or so lavishly-illustrated pages coverthe most important aspects of bird biology in very accessible language. Itis not, however, for the avian faint-of-heart. Nineteen pages alone cover birdskeletons. Another 9 discuss feathers.The rest of the book describes each ofthe 195 existing bird families. Taxo-nomic interests come to the fore asnew ndings in DNA and molecularresearch stand poised to change what

we thought about familial relationships.However, the sequence and groupingswill be familiar to users of eld guides.This is the perfect book for advancedhigh-school or college/universityornithology students, or those wish-ing to dive into the world of birds andare seeking more information than isfound in eld guides. Well-organized, itallows you to pick and choose accord-ing to your interests, and the over 1000full-colour photos, maps and diagramsenhance the text and highlight topics.Still, as with the real world of birds, youmight want to approach this one with aeld guide (or two) in hand. –(AC)

The Great Bicycle ExperimentThe Great Bicycle Experiment  is atrue adventure story that will openone’s eyes to a completely differentworld of 1896 that included consider-

able innovation,experimentationand new ideas. Allthree of these ele-ments were foundin the story of anall-black regimentlocated in FortMissoula, Mon-tana. Lt. James A.

Moss had the idea of using bicycles as part of military transportation. Withthe help of the Spaulding Company,he formed a bicycle corps that trav-elled across America. Along the way,they endured considerable mud, heatand rain, all the while carrying their

meals, bedding and weapons. In spiteof the difcult conditions, they provedthat bicycles were an effective modeof transportation for military person-nel. The book’s photographs offer awonderful visual aid in the telling oftheir story. Another important part ofthe story addressed by the author KayMoore is the treatment and respectthat these soldiers received duringtheir test trips, which occurred duringa very difcult time in American his-tory. They were pioneers in their own

right, and I am very glad the authordescribes their accomplishments insuch a way that young adults can read-ily appreciate. –(SW)

City Fish,Country Fish No, this is nota kids’ story

 book about twodifferent shthat meet andhave an adven-ture (although

someone should write that book). It isabout sh that live in two very differ -ent habitats: tropical coral reefs (thecity) and more general, colder waterregions of the oceans (the country).The city/country analogy is extendedto a comparison of the sh communi-ties and their ecosystems across anumber of topics: ocean transparencyand productivity, sh colour, amount

of space, shape, behaviour and specialadaptations. Each topic gets a two- page spread, with limited text (twoto three short paragraphs per region)and lots of excellent photos. In fact,the photos dominate what is really aglossy picture book. The city/countrytheme ties the sections together andincreases understanding by relating

concepts to ideas that kids will alreadyknow. Big picture differences are keptin mind – you won’t get lost in minuti-ae. Diversity is emphasized, as well asthe importance of the ocean’s health tothe sh and to us. A good introductionto ocean sh for students in grades 5(advanced) to 8. –(AC)

Dirty Teaching Dirty Teaching  by Juliet Robertson isan amazing resource for anyone think -ing about making the outdoors a partof their curriculum. Like the author, Iam a huge advocate of keeping things

simple when taking students outside

 Winter’s Coming:A Story of SeasonalChangeWinter’s Coming  tellsthe story of Lily, a sweet,young and inquisitive snow-shoe hare who has never ex- perienced the cold. AuthorJan Thornhill describes the

hare’s journey as leaves change color, temperatures fall,and she hears mysterious mumblings about somethingfast approaching called winter. Lily learns how different

animals who share her forest prepare for winter’s arrival.She learns about birds that migrate, t ree frogs that sleep,and cheerful chickadees who aren’t bothered at all bywinter. In the end, Lily is amazed to discover that unbe-knownst to her she too has been getting ready for winterthrough her whitening and thickening fur. A delightful book, which covers concepts such as migration, hiberna-tion, and activation in a simple, easy-to-understand story.This book is a wonderful tool to help teach children howdifferent temperate zone animals behave by instinct inthe fall and winter. Although the book is somewhat longat 32 pages, with several words per page, my preschoolstudents (aged 3-5) were still able to follow and enjoy

Lily’s story. Particularly charming are the collage il-lustrations by Josée Bisaillon that reveal how the haregradually changes color from brown to white as theseason changes. –(CKH)

 With My OwnTwo WheelsMost Americanssee cycling asa purely recre-ational activity.By contrast, thedocumentary

With My OwnTwo Wheels focusses on the power of bicycles tochange lives. In the lm, we meetindividuals in ve countries who havegained access to a much broader rangeof resources and services than theywould otherwise have without bikes.For example, a Zambian health worker

is able to reach far more patients. Ayoung girl in India can attend school.A Guatemalan farmer increased crop production for his community withoutconsuming more fossil fuels. And ayoung Californian escaped the inu-ence of gangs through his passion for bicycles. In spite of the real hardshipsendured by the individuals portrayed

in the lm, their creativity is inspira-tional. Most appropriate for eighthgrade and older students, this videooffers this age group a wonderful“vehicle” for becoming more aware ofthe world around them. –(AL/TG)

 bine words and pictures to convey simple yet vital naturestories. Aimed at children aged four to ten, this bookwould appeal particularly to those living in urban areas.While capturing the life cycle of a seed, it helps childrendream about what they may one day become. The wordsand text play off each other in a delightful way: what theseed 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 anempty lot into a community garden. The end result is a powerful and fullling story, deceptively simple on the page. –(CKH)

This is the GreatestPlace!One spring morning inthe old woods of China,a group of animals arevisited by a cheerful manwho has come to the foreston a mission. In This isthe Greatest Place: The

 Forbidden City and the World of Small Animals, BrianTse tells the tale of the Emperor’s builder as he tries to

create the nest place ever built. The animals follow theman throughout the woods as he describes to them howthe world they know best – the trees and blossoms, thehills and streams, the open plains, and even the sky –construct the greatest place. His goal as a builder is torecreate these spaces in the Emperor’s 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 thecrisscrossing of branches and leaves. As the ForbiddenCity takes shape, the forest animals feel a great sense of pride, realizing that where they live is indeed “the great-est place.” Charming, both in tone and in its pastel child-friendly illustrations, this story not only explores othercultures and history in a way that is appealing to young

 people but also reminds us to pause and appreciate the

world around us. It also shows us that great buildings and powerful rulers are less important than the natural world,which of course supports us all. –(CKH)

Stacy Torinoand Ken Keffer were inspired to writethe book by a 9 year old boy’s list ofoutdoor activities he hoped to experi-ence before he reached adulthood.From that initial idea the authors com- piled a collection of simple outdooractivities including running barefooton the beach in the springtime, eatingveggies straight from the garden insummer, hanging upside down from atree in the fall and building a snow fortin winter. Divided by season, many of

the activities require minimal plan-ning and materials.
