The author uses colorful, simple, yet detailed watercolor illustrations to convey her words. The charming pictures show the many aspects in the life of a tree down to the caterpillars that eat the leaves. It is good for pre-school children. ( )2. This charming picture book highlights the life of a garden, from planting seeds to harvesting. With the narrator as guide, the reader is led through a variety of free verse and occasionally rhymed poems that fill in the story of a garden and its inhabitants. The pictures, delightful watercolors in bright pastels, add to the whimsical feel of the poems. Young readers will certainly enjoy this fun and fanciful text. ( )3. This is a story from 1956 which introduces a little boy who likes to go fishing with a tree limb, a woman, and a pin. Although he never catches anything, on this particular day he finally does hook three big ones, but the little one gets away. The boy pulls them home in his wagon and his mother cooks them for supper. The swinging rhythms of the text and the good humor evident in the illustrations remain fun for the youngest readers. ( )4. This useful, attractive, oversize volume uses its height well, employing a tree metaphor to show the earth"s various kinds of life and how all living things from bacteria to the largest mammals, are related. Each spread covers one branch of the animal kingdom. To make the enormity of species understandable, Strauss equates individual species (e. g.,1 0,000 bacteria) with one leaf on the tree. ( )5. This is a story about how a grandfather teaches his eager granddaughter to catch speckled trout from the stream in springtime. After a whole day on the lake, only Grandpa is lucky. The next morning the young fisherman hurries to the dock alone, and soon she hooks the catch of a lifetime. Young readers will appreciate this story that celebrates the special bond between the older and younger generation, while brilliant watercolor illustrations capture the beauty of the natural world. |

 Dear friend As the anniversary of your membership approaches, I"d like to express a heartfelt "Thank you" from everyone here at the National Geographic Society for your valuable support. We appreciate having you as a member, which is why we"re asking you for help. One of the Society"s long-standing goals is to keep membership costs as low as possible. To do this, we ask members to post their fees early. This keeps renewal (续订) printing and postage costs down (you save the expense of sending renewal reminders to you repeatedly and help us save paper) and allows us to pass the savings on to you. Member"s cooperation is why we can afford to send you 12 colorful issues of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine at such a low price. As you know, this rate is extraordinarily low for an award-winning publication filled from cover to cover with full-color photographs, pictures and wall maps created by our world-famous photographers. Plus, your fee helps enrich the world. Part of the payment I hope that you will send today helps support the Society"s research, exploration, and educational projects around the globe. In the past ten years alone, your Society has helped sponsor more than 2, 700 scientific and environmental researches. And, of course, posting your fee now guarantees that you won"t miss a single issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine. I hope that you"ll commit yourself again to the pleasure that membership brings. Thank you in advance for your early renewal. I" m looking forward to hearing from you. John Griffin President, Publishing Department |
