A humorous exploration of a northern river ecosystem with an intrepid young boatsman is paired with an extended author’s note about its ecology and key species.Young Ben sets out to explore the river equipped with a sturdy boat, some sample-collection gear, and his scientific curiosity. Along the way he meets a black bear taking a swim, a moose all wobbly and slim, a goose with a gorgeous grin, and a heron all proper and prim…but things really start happening after the owl HOOs loudly on a whim.With fresh, easygoing verse from author Jen Lynn Bailey and art full of movement and light from illustrator Maggie Zeng, This is the Boat That Ben Built is a compelling entry point for conversations about ecology, food webs, and species diversity. Ben’s excursion—watched from the shore by his mother and faithful dog—is an outdoor adventure pitched perfectly for kids who dream of independence and exploration, parents who value safety and loving supervision, and educators who seek engaging fiction enriched with information. The book concludes with an eight-page Author’s Note that spotlights facts about every animal Ben has met and invites readers to think like an ecologist about the ways in which they are all connected.

A child tries their hardest to get the forest birds to eat from their hand in this funny and relatable story about finding patience and connection. The child reluctantly heads out on a winter hike with their parents through deep snow to feed the birds. At first they don’t want to be there. It’s boring and hard to wait in the cold. But when they see the birds swooping for bird seed, they know they won’t want to leave until one lands in their hand. It’s tough to stay still, though, and the birds spook easily. All it takes is a snapped branch or some excited jumping to scare the birds away. But the other kids can do it, so why is it so hard?The child stomps away in frustration, but when they stop to breathe, and get the support of a parent, they are finally able to wait patiently for a bird to land in their hand.
