  • Animals Can Be So Speedy

    Diane Swanson

    Paperback (Greystone, March 28, 2002)
    Down in the sea, up in the air, and right here on earth, animals are racing everywhere. Spring, sproing, zip and zoom—what’s that on the run, darting, dashing, scurrying, rushing? Bottlenose dolphins whiz and whoosh, while a sea lion gleefully plays, riding swiftly to shore on the waves. Hares hip-hop, cheetahs charge, kangaroos bound, and horses’ hooves pound. Look, in the sky, beautiful bald eagles beat their wings and fly. Join the animals and have some fast fun!

  • 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.

    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?
