Books with author Beverly Doyle

Aliens are everywhere!Batten introduces readers to the serious and ongoing environmental problems caused by invasive plant and animal species. Describing various examples―from the accidental release of the gypsy moth into the United States to the deliberate introduction of rabbits to Australia―the text shows how these foreign intrusions have disturbed the delicate balance of local ecosystems. Back matter includes a glossary and list of ideas that provide more information and ways to minimize human impact on local environments.

In our world, being different means you take a chance at being invisible to others. But in the animal world, it doesn’t quite work that way. Meet Ashu, an unusual leopard who dares to be different in a world where being different means you STAND OUT! DR. BEVERLY'S FORMATIVE FICTION: The imagination is a child’s safest haven in navigating the challenges and successes of the world around them. Dr. Beverly’s Formative Fiction aims to fill the void between nonfiction and fiction books. This allows children to discover “formative” fiction stories that combine basic reading concepts with lessons in understanding differences and complex facts that make the world less grey. These lessons are the building blocks from which conceptual learning and ideas blossom, introducing young readers to a kaleidoscope of colors. Dr. Beverly’s Formative Fiction shows young readers that reading is BOTH educational AND entertaining, because the boundaries of the imagination are infinite! This series is a must for all young readers!

ALIENS ARE ON THE MOVE! They spread out underwater, smothering sea plants and destroying fish eggs in the Mediterranean Sea. They multiply and invade wooded areas in Australia and Hawaii, killing off the native flora and fauna. They travel by air, water, boat…even on the shoes and clothes of humans!Award-winning science writer Mary Batten introduces young readers to the serious and ongoing environmental problems caused by invasive plant and animal species. Citing numerous examples, including the accidental release of the gypsy moth into the United States in 1869 and the deliberate introduction of rabbits to Australia by English settlers, Batten shows how in each case the delicate balance of the local ecosystem is threatened or even destroyed by the foreign intrusion.At the end of the book, Batten offers readers a glossary and a list of ideas they can use to minimize their own impact on local environments. Artist Beverly Doyle's realistic, full-color illustrations and maps highlight the diversity of the natural world and outline the global routes taken by animal and plant invaders.
