A funny story with many ironic twists. Martin, Bill Jr. and John Archambault. Illustrated by Ted Rand. This is superb narrative verse in which a young boy relates his adventure one windy autumn night. On their way down a dark, lonely road, he and his sister fight to conquer their fear of hidden terrors in a gnarled, wind-tossed tree.
Wind shakes the tree's limbs and the ghostly eyes of an owl send both children racing for home.
Eerie text and dark, haunting watercolours combine to present a suspenseful atmosphere for this poetic story of childhood fear. Xuqi, Jin and Markus Kappeler. Colour photographs and clearly-written text explain the behaviors, habits, and habitats of this endangered species, as well as concerned environmental groups' efforts to rescue the giant panda from extinction. Colour photographs and drawings. This is an interesting and informative resource suitable for researching the panda's body structure, eating habits, care of babies, and danger of extinction.
