Book Guide

Children love to see ducks waddling around park ponds. They marvel at the clatter of geese flying above in a darkening sky. And for those lucky enough to see a swan, the elegance and majesty of the creature makes an impression that is not soon forgotten. Millicent Selsam and Joyce Hunt, together with illustrator Harriet Springer, ask readers to look just a little closer at those marvelous creatures. What are the similarities that can be observed and what are the differences? In teaching children the nuts and bolts of scientific observation, Selsam and Hunt allow them to see ducks, geese, swans, and all creatures in a more wondrous light.
