Book Description
It’s night. It’s dark. It’s time to go indoors—or is it? The outdoors at night can be a scary place, but this book will help young readers investigate the mysterious nature of night. To explore the night, it would be great to have eyes like an owl, the sensitive nose of a deer, and feet that can move as silently as a fox. Humans aren’t quite as good as nocturnal animals at navigating the darkness, but we can come surprisingly close. Our senses are much sharper than we realize, if we learn how to use them. Some scientists are even researching the sensory abilities of human hair! Each chapter of the book spotlights a different nocturnal creature. And while learning about animals’ adaptations for navigating the world of night, young readers discover their own surprising abilities. Years of teaching children in the outdoors has given the author, renowned environrmental educator Anita Sanchez, firsthand experience in introducing students to the terrors and joys of nature at night. She has led kids on night walks in a variety of habitats, including urban settings. Based on these experiences, the book describes night-time landscapes and the nocturnal animals that inhabit them, from desert coyotes to the frog chorus in a backyard pond—and a corner of the bathroom at midnight where a spider lurks. Readers will encounter: --The great horned owl, who can spot the twitch of a mouse’s tail in almost total darkness. --The Gila monster, who prowls the desert night using its tongue to locate prey. --The super-sensitive ears of a bullfrog (yes, frogs have ears!) --The delicate sense of touch of a spider, capturing its prey by feeling the slightest vibrations of its web. Sidebars called “You Can Do It!” offer fun and active ways for kids to explore their own senses—learning more about their own eyes, ears, nose, and senses of touch and taste. --While using crayons at night, can your eyes tell red from green? --Can you hold completely still for an entire minute, like a fox stalking its prey? --Could you follow the scent trail of an onion across the back yard? --Can you find sounds in the dark? Learn to use the “big ears” technique to locate sounds with accuracy.

Book Description
When my nieces and nephews were younger, they used to ask me to read them a bed time story, and when the book had ended, they still wanted more so I would make up some stories of my own and they would be in the stories of course. When they heard their names in the stories their little faces lit up like Christmas trees and when I saw their little faces smiling I knew that someday I would be writing my own book. So if it were not for my nieces and nephews I probably never would have written this book and also I wanted to leave behind a special gift for all my nieces and nephews. Since I do not have any children of my own, I am truly blessed to have all of them in my life. They are my inspiration and my muses. So if you like to read fantasy or action and adventure stories or watch sci-fi movies with heroes, heroines, monsters and mystical creatures, you will love The Four Magical Powers. In this book you will encounter a treacherous three-horned creature, a jealous King, an evil wizard and a battle between families. You will meet four gifted girls, a courageous family and some friendly elves. You will travel into an unknown forest filled with unique creatures and not so unique, climb the dangerous mountain, overcome many obstacles and along the way you will also make many loyal friends and some not so loyal. And we will see a great struggle between the powers of Light and the powers of Darkness. So are you ready to enter into the journey of enchantment? Meet some courageous girls and follow them through their journey. Then ready yourself, grab your sword, staff and shield because within these pages are magical things await for you. It is time to take another journey into the world that has never been explored.
