An Instinct for Survival

Ten Nature Adventures

Beschreibung

Survival in nature is a constant struggle that depends mostly on instinct...but sometimes on plain old luck. In these ten short stories, animals face dramatic moments when instinct makes the difference between life or death. A young mountain goat trusts his unproven agility in a daring leap. An eagle uses her powerful wings in a desperate bid to live. An osprey's fishing luck turns against him. Will their instinctive choices mean survival for these and the other seven animals in the stories? Exciting action and adventure for ages 9-12.

Autor

Nature, science, a lifelong love of reading about animal characters! For Gillian Richardson, this has been the perfect mix for writing 21 children's books, including both fiction (picture books, chapter books, novels), and nonfiction. Bestsellers, Kaboom! Explosions off All Kinds, and 10 Plants That Shook the World, won international awards. Recent ebook publications include Ollie Buggins, Detective? and Take Me With You, both chapter books for ages 6-8. A collection of short stories for ages 9-12, An Instinct for Survival: Ten Nature Adventures, is rich in detail about each animal's lifestyle and environment. Readers glimpse the constant struggle for survival, and a dramatic moment when everything depends on instinct. For older readers, Seasons at Shiregreene is a memoir that recounts years spent in Prince Edward Island
