  • Animals Can Be So Speedy

    Diane Swanson

    Paperback (Fitzhenry and Whiteside, Sept. 26, 2003)
    Do you ever play tag or run for a ball? Animals love to run, too. They might chase after food or leap away from trouble. A bald eagle can sweep through the air, scanning the ground from far above. A sea lion can plunge towards the seafloor then ride the ocean waves to shore. From charging cheetahs to zooming dragonflies, Animals Can Be So Speedy is one fast read!

In these pages, you'll discover who snoozes and who snores!

  • Animals Can Be So Sleepy

    Diane Swanson

    Hardcover (Greystone, Dec. 31, 2001)
    Cuddle up to a chimp, snuggle with a squirrel, lie down with a lion! Shhh--it's the animals' bedtime, and they're all yawning and nestling, relaxing and resting, dozing and snoozing. Take a peek at the coypu (KOI-poo) with his mouth wide open, as well as little gray squirrels all huddled together. Marine iguanas slumber on rocky shores, while the fuzzy white polar bear rests its paws. A chimp builds a nest up high in a tree, because it--and the walruses, foxes, and owls--are ready to sleep. It's the perfect bedtime book for sweet dreams.

  • Animals Can Be So Playful

    Diane Swanson, Rose Cowles

    Hardcover (Greystone, March 28, 2002)
    Look at who’s pouncing and rolling and diving: animals can have such fun! Red fox springs up high-watch him go PLOP right on top of his brother. Deep in the jungle the orangutan swings and swoops, his long hand grabbing leafy branches. Cub on cub, frisky lions romp. Free of the sea, the dolphins jump, sailing into the sky. Grab a partner, twirl around, and the prairie dogs wrestle. Don’t you want to play, too?
