Download Free Wet Pets And Other Watery Tales Book in PDF and EPUB Free Download. You can read online Wet Pets And Other Watery Tales and write the review.

This book is a collection of short stories about water-related happenings with pets, written by their owners and contributed for publication in Wet Pets to help support the Camden-Rockport Animal Rescue League (CRARL) and its no-kill shelter in Rockport, Maine. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go to CRARL. The editors of the volume are volunteers, each with writing and publishing experience. Most of the 50 stories in the collection include photographs of the subjects described. Animal lovers everywhere will be drawn to these recollections of watery adventures with beloved pets. Those passionate about sailing will be rewarded with images of boats, sea, and shore. Children and adults alike will appreciate these tales of cats, dogs, and ducks and the glimpes they provide into the lives of their people companions. This project reflects volunteerism at its best. It is a tribute to all who care about animals. It ensures that the pets of the contributing authors will be held in loving memory into the future. Most importantly, these stories will help to support shelter animals until they can be adopted into loving homes.
A dog's attempts to cool off on a hot day get him into trouble with a series of people and finally lead him to interrupt a country wedding.
"A book of animals...made up of the Author's personal notes and sketches made in the fields and forest for his own amusement" as well as "a few short camp-fire stories and legends."--p. i.
A little girl and her dad take the dog for a walk in the park. After he's dragged dad through the mud and into the pond, he's a very wet dog - and dad is just as bad!
Discovering the secrets of animal movement and what they can teach us Insects walk on water, snakes slither, and fish swim. Animals move with astounding grace, speed, and versatility: how do they do it, and what can we learn from them? In How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls, David Hu takes readers on an accessible, wondrous journey into the world of animal motion. From basement labs at MIT to the rain forests of Panama, Hu shows how animals have adapted and evolved to traverse their environments, taking advantage of physical laws with results that are startling and ingenious. In turn, the latest discoveries about animal mechanics are inspiring scientists to invent robots and devices that move with similar elegance and efficiency. Hu follows scientists as they investigate a multitude of animal movements, from the undulations of sandfish and the way that dogs shake off water in fractions of a second to the seemingly crash-resistant characteristics of insect flight. Not limiting his exploration to individual organisms, Hu describes the ways animals enact swarm intelligence, such as when army ants cooperate and link their bodies to create bridges that span ravines. He also looks at what scientists learn from nature’s unexpected feats—such as snakes that fly, mosquitoes that survive rainstorms, and dead fish that swim upstream. As researchers better understand such issues as energy, flexibility, and water repellency in animal movement, they are applying this knowledge to the development of cutting-edge technology. Integrating biology, engineering, physics, and robotics, How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls demystifies the remarkable mechanics behind animal locomotion.
A group of zany, very short stories mostly about a young man's experiences in a small town.
A Hula-Hooping moose, a badger with a bumblebee umbrella, a rabbit in a cashmere sweater, and a very wet bear star in this unpredictable and laugh-out-loud picture book in which having fun gets the best of a grumpy bear. It looks like a wet and dreary day for Bear and his trio of friends. How could he possibly have fun when he is soaked? But Badger, Rabbit, and Moose don't seem to mind. In fact, Moose can still hula hoop! And it looks like so much fun. Might Bear like to try? Here is a story that shows that fun is not dependent on sunshine and blue skies. In fact, it might be more fun to be soaked!
