Books with title Where Once There Was a Wood

THERE ONCE WAS A CAT is designed to appeal to many types of readers: cat fanciers, poetry lovers, and young readers. This book combines the antics of cats and the silliness of limerick poetry into a colorful, educational, and fun-filled reading experience. The book contains twenty-six amusing limericks written about cats. The cats are named alphabetically, starting with A for Anna and ending with Z for Zipper. Each limerick is presented with a watercolor illustration. Within each illustration is the first letter of the cat’s name. For example, on the page about Anna, the young reader can search for all the A’s in the illustration, count them, and check the total with the answer page. Young readers, then, gain experience in alphabet, letter recognition, and counting skills. Author Mary Jane Cogan holds a master’s degree in education. She drew from her experiences as a cat-lover, artist, and reading teacher to create this multi-faceted book.

Oh, there once was a Puffin Just the shape of a muffin, And he lived on an island in the bright blue sea! But the dear little Puffin is lonely on his island for he has no one to play with.

Bright, bold pictures of a singularly appealing puffin bring this classic nonsense verse to life for the youngest listener.

Daddy, Daddy, tell me a story! There once was an alligator with only one foot . . .Not the alligator. Oh, no! I want the dog story instead. I’m afraid I don’t know that one. Children and parents alike will delight in this call and response picture book as Daddy (who doesn’t actually know the dog story) tries to satisfy his child with a story about every other animal―a lion, a pig, a hen, a rat, etc.―until inspiration strikes! João Vaz de Carvalho’s quirky and memorable illustrations add to the fun!

Nature's Miracles titles encourage children to explore the natural world for themselves by observing nature's activities. The books also encourage kids to take part in activities of their own that promote a sense of responsibility toward the Earth's plants, animals, and natural resources. Each book presents a cheerfully illustrated story about children who explore nature's wonders. Notes for parents and teachers that follow each story suggest activities, further reading, and Web sites related to the book's theme. Color illustrations on every page. In this book, children explore a garden pond in springtime, and discover a deposit of frog's eggs. They take home a small amount of the eggs and place them in a fish tank with water plants. As time passes, they watch the eggs develop into tadpoles. Before long, the tadpoles become frogs, which the children then return to the pond.
