Download or read book Alex the Parrot No Ordinary Bird written by Stephanie Spinner and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1977, graduate student Irene Pepperberg walked into a pet store and bought a year-old African grey parrot. Because she was going to study him, she decided to call him Alex--short for Avian Learning EXperiment. At that time, most scientists thought that the bigger the brain, the smarter the creature; they studied great apes and dolphins. African greys, with their walnut-sized "birdbrains," were pretty much ignored--until Alex. His intelligence surprised everyone, including Irene. He learned to count, add, and subtract; to recognize shapes, sizes, and colors; and to speak, and understand, hundreds of words. These were things no other animal could do. Alex wasn't supposed to have the brainpower to do them, either. But he did them anyway. Accompanied by Meilo So's stunning illustrations, Alex and Irene's story is one of groundbreaking discoveries about animal intelligence, hard work, and the loving bonds of a unique friendship.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Coconut Tree Sequoia and Redwood Trees Apple Trees Chapter 3 Conclusion: Author Bio Publisher Introduction You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. ~Saint Bernard *** Trees: Trees are beautiful plants made of wood with strong roots, pretty green leaves, and occasionally yummy fruit! They are fun to climb, explore, and learn about. Lots of interesting creatures live inside the bark of trees and some live in the branches. Other animals dig a hole under the tree and live there too! The roots of a tree do more than just keep it standing tall. Roots are like a beehive for creatures in the earth! Roots also give water to the tree and the nutrients it needs. What do you know about trees? Some trees live for thousands of years and some grow very tall and wide. Think of the Sequoia tree. This is a “King” among trees. It can be as tall as a 26 story building! The wood from trees has been used for a very long time to help humans. Do you know how we use the wood from trees? - For Energy: Building a fire to keep warm or scare away bad animals. Many people have fireplaces in their homes and some people still cook with firewood. - In Construction: Many homes are made of wood and many floors are too! - For Furniture: Did you ever see a pretty wood table or chairs? What about a head board? - For Decoration: Do you like picture or painting frames made of wood? What about vases, souvenirs, plates, or nicely painted bowls? - To make paper: Yes, paper comes from the chips and sawdust of trees! Toilet paper comes from trees also. - For Games: Board games and other types of games are made from wood and many children toys are made of wood. - For Cleaning Supplies: Shampoos, shoe polish, and even cleaning supplies for the home, comes from a tree! This list is just a small sample of what trees can do. Did you know the wood of trees is used for thousands of products? How many other things can you add to this list? Trees come in all shapes and sizes but if a tree is small it is called a shrub instead of a tree. Do you know how many trees are in the world?

Download or read book Pigs For Kids written by Rachel Smith and published by Mendon Cottage Books. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction What is a pig? What kinds of pigs are there? Where did pigs come from? The history of pigs and humans Babirusas (also known as pig-deer) Pot-belled pigs Red river hogs Wild Boars Feral Pigs Peccaries Warthogs Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Pigs have long been a part of human life. The ancient Israelites considered them unclean animals, and would not eat them; however, many, many cultures consider them a great source of food. The pig is present in the Chinese zodiac, a way of keeping track of years by assigning twelve animals, one to each year. It’s also said to predict traits and such about people born in those years. It’s the twelfth sign, because, according to legend, the pig showed up last to the great meeting where the animals were assigned to a system. The pig has long been a sign of gluttony, especially in Western culture. In the book Animal Farm, they greedily consume the best of the food, and do almost none of the work. Pigs are considered dirty, but the fact is, they tend to be very clean animals. They do consume a lot of food, but not all pigs are fat; it’s mostly domesticated (bred to serve humans) pigs that are as obese-looking as you see in the modern day. They are very interesting creatures.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction What is a sloth? What kinds of sloths are there? Relatives of sloths The history of sloths and humans Pygmy three-toed sloth Hoffman’s two-toed sloth Brown-throated sloth Giant sloth Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction You’ve probably heard of someone being called a sloth, or even of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Sloth. But what is a sloth, and how did it come to be used as a bad thing to be called? You might guess that it’s some sort of horrible animal, but the truth couldn’t be any different. Sloths are slow creatures, named for the sin rather than the other way around. However, there is nothing wrong with being slow, and as you’ll see, they are quite loveable creatures that cause harm to almost no one (other than things like insects).

Puppies require quite a bit of attention and love, as well as proper training when you are just starting out. Although they can be the most adorable creatures on the planet, they can also cause a considerable amount of problems. Depending upon the type of breed that you're working with, they may or may not be very easy to train. Regardless of how much work it will take, if you truly love animals, and want your puppy to grow up to be a healthy loyal friend and protector, there are a few tips and strategies you ought to know. In this article, we will present 10 facts about puppies that you ought to know. 1 - Puppies are born after a 63 day gestation cycle, which means the mom is only pregnant for 63 days. 2 - Puppies are born almost helpless, but they have several natural instincts the moment they are born. 3 - Puppies instinctually are able to nurse right after birth, and will spend a large portion of their time feeding and sleeping. 4 - The first couple weeks, puppies will be unable to open up their eyes. 5 - In the first few months of their life, they will grow very rapidly developing both physically and socially. 6 - Despite an independent nature, they learn quite a bit from their littermates soon after they are born. 7 - Puppies require quite a bit of socialization, meaning you will have to spend a great deal of time with them in order to familiarize them with their surroundings. 8 - Every puppy needs to be taken to the veterinarian within two months of their birth, not only for a check-up, but to get the initial shots that they will need. 9 - Puppies need to be dewormed at an early age, and they should also be checked for potentially deadly conditions such as Parvo. 10 - At some point, puppies will have to be potty trained, something that should start about two months after they are born. Although there are many more facts about puppies that you can learn, the best thing you can do is learn from experience, and also apply all of the techniques that you learn from books, the Internet, and people that have successfully trained puppies before. Having a puppy is a wonderful experience, but it takes hard work and dedication to allow them to become healthy adult dogs that you will love for many years to come.
