Stevens, Alison Pearce

"What can we do to stop climate change? It's time to call in some superheroes! We have elephants protecting our forests by trampling trees. Whales contributing to ocean health with their massive poo-nados. Sea otters fighting climate change by guarding kelp forests. And spiny anteaters moving 8 tons of soil each year, feeding plants as it goes. So when we protect the habitats of our climate heroes? We're protecting our planet. Get ready to learn all about these four legged, and no-legged, creatures and how YOU can be a climate hero too!"--Provided by publisher.

"Twelve million years ago, rhinos, elephants, and giraffes roamed North America. They would gather at nearby watering holes--eating, drinking, and trying not to become someone else's lunch. But one day, in what we now know as Nebraska, everything changed. The explosion of a supervolcano a thousand miles away sent a blanket of ash that buried these animals for millennia. Until 1953, when a seventeen-year-old farm worker made an unbelievable discovery. This is the first book to be published about the Ashfall Fossil Beds, where more than two hundred perfectly preserved fossils have been found. Step into the past with author Alison Pearce Stevens, who has worked with many of the Ashfall researchers at the University of Nebraska State Museum"--Provided by the publisher.
