Simon and the Bear, a Hanukkah Tale

Kimmel, Eric A

Publié en 2014

Livre
Fiction
Conte

When Simon leaves his home in the old country, his mother reminds him to celebrate Hanukkah during his voyage: "Who knows? You may need a miracle on your long journey." Turns out Simon needs a miracle, several in fact. Who would have thought the huge ship would sink? He didn't expect to be stranded on an iceberg. And it certainly never occurred to him that he would come face to face with a polar bear! By demonstrating the kind of courage, faith, and selflessness that led the Maccabees to victory so long ago, Simon learns a thing or two about miracles.

Creature Features, Twenty-five Animals Explain Why They Look the Way They Do

Jenkins, Steve / Page, Robin

Publié en 2014

Livre
Documentaire

Let's face it. Even as babies, we humans pay close attention to faces. Observing another person's features and expressions tells us whether they are happy, angry, excited, or sad. And when we look at an animal, it's hard not to imagine that its face is communicating human feelings. This isn't true, of course. Squinty eyes, an upturned mouth, or another odd expression is probably there because, in some way, it helps that animal survive. Packed with many cool facts and visuals.

A Mom for Umande

Faulconer, Maria

Publié en 2014

Livre
Fiction documentaire
Album

When Umande was born, his mother didn’t know how to take care of him. So, he was hand-reared by keepers at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. For eight months, the keepers crawled on the ground with him to show him how to walk; coughed in his face to teach him discipline; and gave him happy gorilla grumbles to encourage him. But for Umande, something was still missing. Luckily, a thousand miles away at the Columbus Zoo, a mom was waiting just for him.
