Escape from Silver Stree Farm

Gemma, Meera, and Karl are busier than ever preparing for the grand opening at Silver Street Farm. But just when the farm is about to open to the public, the turkeys escape, and the sheep are missing as well. The three friends set out to find the culprits and the escapees.

Welcome to Silver Stree Farm

"What are three city friends to do when a couple of newly adopted baby poodles turn out to be sheep and some eggs thought to be rotten hatch into ducklings? For Gemma, Meera, and Karl, the answer's easy--turn the abandoned train station into a city farm! Throw in a friendly policeman, a chicken-herding dog, and a pair of runaway goats, and you've got yourself the start of Silver Street Farm--the little farm in the big city. Welcome to Silver Street Farm!"--Jkt. flap.

Dolphin baby!

Following his mother, a baby dolphin learns about life under the sea, from catching his first fish to developing his own unique whistle.

Talk, talk, squawk!

"From the chatter of dolphins to the click of a moth, from the stripes of a reef fish to the rumbling of elephants, this funny, fascinating book unlocks the mysteries of how animals talk and squawk to one another-- and how humans try to talk back.".

Poop

Hippos navigate by it, sloths keep in touch through it, dung beetles eat it... and most grownups would rather not to mention it. Meanwhile, scientists who study animal feces find out all sorts of things, such as how many insects a bat eats or just what technique a T. rex used to devour a triceratops 70 million years ago. However you look at it, poop is the quintessential prototype for recycling and probably the most useful stuff on earth. Take a peek at Poop and find out all you need to know-what it's for, where it goes, and how much we can learn from it.
