[Nfbf-l] FW: NBP-Announce: April book - Who Lives in an Alligator Hole?

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hello all,

This could  be just an ordinary new book announcement by NBP, one of my
favorite organizations! But the timing of the release makes it so very
unordinary for us here in Florida with our upcoming two conventions. You can
bet that, after I order it and see if it grabs my attention or not, I'm
going to see what I can do to make this book part of our conventions in a
real fun way!

Sherrill O'Brien

April 2011 Book Club Selection
Who Lives in an Alligator Hole?
Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2
By Anne Rockwell
Print/braille edition, $5.99
In contracted braille with one tactile drawing of an alligator
Ages 4-8

Of course, an alligator lives in an alligator hole. But did you know that
scientists consider alligators a "keystone species," meaning they are the
most important animals in their habitat? Without the alligator, many
dependent animals would become extinct.

After quickly tracing the ancestors and relatives of the alligator from the
Jurassic period to the present, the author explains that during the dry
season in Florida, alligators seek out damp muck and thrash about until they
create a gator hole. As water seeps in from below, the hole draws many
species of animals, creating a unique ecosystem. The text also presents the
dramatic story of how alligators were brought to the brink of extinction
before making a remarkable comeback.

Read and find out about how alligators are much more than big jaws and sharp
teeth!
We've included a tactile drawing of an alligator by Artist Ann Cunningham.
