Solitary Animals: Introverts of the Wild

Joshua David Stein

This poetic observation of the animal kingdom considers animals that live together and animals that move through life alone. A parade of elephants represents group living, while a solitary eagle offers an example of an animal on its own. The book also notes that a silvery shape in the sea can be a school of fish. Digital illustrations and back matter accompany this exploration of animal social patterns and solitude.

Cover of The Catalogue of HugsThe Catalogue of HugsJoshua David Stein, Augustus Heeren SteinThis book gathers 25 kinds of hugs shared between parents and children. The hugs range from familiar embraces to more playful and questionable variations, each given its own title and illustration. Watercolor art presents the many ways a hug can communicate affection and inclusion, often with humor. Rather than following one continuous story, the book offers an illustrated collection of parent-child embraces and the different forms they can take.Under FiveOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
Cover of The Most Important ThingThe Most Important ThingAntonella Abbatiello, illustrated by Antonella AbbatielloIn this fable, animals each regard a particular trait as the one that matters most. When those characteristics are placed on different animals, the results become absurd, challenging each animal’s certainty about what is most important. Large color pages, including foldouts, present the animals and their misplaced features. The story’s emphasis on varied characteristics leads toward a message of unity and celebrates diversity instead of any superiority.Under FiveOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
