This classic story is about a bat who falls from her mother during a falcon attack and lands in a bird nest. She is then raised to be a bird, yet has some trouble fitting in, due to her propensities for hanging upside down and eating fruit, rather than bugs. This story is wonderful for teaching children how to be themselves and how creatures (and people) can be friends despite their differences, as well as being a great introduction to a study about bats.

This story is about a young girl who loves to color, but has her crayons taken away when she runs out of paper and starts coloring on the wall. She is sad, but then discovers the wonderful artistic potential natural elements like mud, stones, and flowers. This book offers a great opportunity for discussing the interaction of illustrations and text because the text loses all color when the girl loses her crayons but gradually regains color as she learns to use the objects in the environment around her to express herself.
