What a day at school for the animals!
The animals of Santa Barbara County’s Santa Ynez Valley are plentiful and varied. Some fly, some swim, some slither; others gallop, or trot, or ride in the back of pickup trucks. Some are wild and others domestic; some are workers while others are pets; there are prize winners and there are bandits; many of the animals are beautiful and friendly, whereas others are beautiful and dangerous. The Valley is home to meadowlarks, condors, and ostriches; cattle, sheep, and alpacas; polo ponies and work horses; prize-winning cattle, goats, and swine; dogs and coyotes; cats and mountain lions; elands and even an elephant. Brooks Firestone, who has lived in the Santa Ynez Valley for over thirty-five years, knows the animals well. He has ranched with them, lived with them, laughed at their antics, and marveled at their beauty. Now he has written a book about them: dozens of stories about his encounters with his animal neighbors, as well as retold tales heard from his human neighbors. These stories cover a wide range of emotional territory, from hilarious (a parade of dogs gossiping about their human companions) to heart-wrenching (prized and treasured horses lost in a tragic barn fire) to beautiful and inspired (a flock of migrant geese waking up after spending the night in a foggy meadow).
Jaxson and Boss are best friends who do everything together.
"The Early Emergent Kit works to focus on helping students develop early reading behaviors. Over the course of a week of lessons, students read a new book each day and a new nonfiction book each week. Each week, they compose a story about something they have learned from reading a nonfiction book and learn about how letters and words work using magnetic letters. Students build a core of words they can read and write. Lessons include guided reading using leveled books, phonics/word work, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary development. Each lesson also includes suggestions for working with second language students."--Website
This guide to the wildlife and vegetation of California’s Central Valley and Foothills Regions features more than seven hundred detailed line drawings. California’s San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys and the nearby Sierra Nevada Foothills are host to abundant, varied, and often surprising plants and wildlife. This fully illustrated guide pairs over seven hundred meticulous line drawings with descriptions of the birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fishes, invertebrates, plants, and fungi that make this diverse and beautiful region their home. Like a ranger-led nature walk, each species receives a lively overview; readers will learn about freshwater jellyfish, mushrooms that decompose railroad ties, handstanding spotted skunks, salt-shedding pickleweed—not to mention insects. Every write-up not only contains fun facts but also conveys a sense of the complex connections and interactions that sustain life in a unique place. Previously published as Magpies and Mayflies (Heyday, 2005), The Naturalist’s Illustrated Guide to the Sierra Foothills and Central Valley features updated scientific and common names, and a full redesign.

Twenty-five years in the making, this book is a collection of true stories about the animals and the people of California's Santa Ynez Valley, in the heart of wine country, farm country, and animal country. The animals Brooks Firestone and his neighbors have lived with, worked with, played with, and otherwise associated with include horses, cattle, dog, cats, elands, alpacas, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, deer, ostriches, parrots, geese, ducks, and even an Elephant at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. This book is a tribute to a beautiful valley, with all its landscape in both town and country. Most of all, it is a celebration of that magic that happens when human beings and their animal neighbors interact.
