Produktbeschreibung

Loon Chase shares the moment of wonder when a young boy's peaceful canoe ride turns frantic as he discovers that his dog still has powerful instincts similar to animals in the wild. It is also about the surprising outcome of the encounter between the dog and a loon protecting chicks: the bigger animal doesn't necessarily prevail. The superb pastel illustrations evoke feelings of being on the lake. The Creative Mind section has teaching trivia, crafts and gmes related to loons, their migration patterns and efforts to protect this species. All Sylvan Dell titles feature additional educational resources at www.SylvanDellPublishing.com, including the "For Creative Minds" section. "For Creative Minds" Includes: Fun Facts about Loons, Think it through, Loon questions, Map It (where do loons live in the summer and winter?), Math It (weight, speed, age), Measure It (how long can you hold breath compared to a loon?), Loons in Native American Culture, Make a Loon Mask.
