Thousands of beautiful tufted puffins arrive each spring to lay their eggs on the remote and rugged Triangle Island, a rare and protected habitat.In this lushly illustrated first book in the Wild by Nature series, young readers will meet a pair of puffins preparing a burrow on the steep cliffside of Triangle Island, off the northwestern tip of Vancouver Island. In this remarkable place, they will lay a single egg and raise their baby. Here, the birds are protected, and there is ample space to nest, and fish to eat.At summer’s end, the puffins, young and old, fly away to live at sea. The young puffins will live on the ocean until they are mature enough to return to their birthplace and lay their own eggs. If Triangle Island remains undisturbed, and the ocean stays cool, clean and full of fish, the new baby puffins will continue to thrive and grow.Includes an author’s note about Triangle Island and other sea birds that nest there.WILD BY NATUREA series for young readers that explores the unique links between ecologically sensitive species and their habitats, and encourages the preservation of the world’s wild places.Key Text Featuresillustrationsauthor’s notefurther informationfurther readingfacts Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.3Describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.6Identify the main purpose of a text, including what the author wants to answer, explain, or describe.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.7Explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a text.

It’s spring in Grasslands National Park and burrowing owls are returning from a winter away to lay their eggs in this rare and protected habitat.Lush illustrations celebrate the magnificent wild prairie of Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan and feature the remarkable burrowing owls — the only owls in the world to live underground! Meet the owls as they prepare a burrow and lay their eggs. See tiny fuzzy owlets hatch and grow before flying south to Mexico and Texas for the winter.Sadly, these little owls who were once common in the grasslands of western and midwestern North America are now endangered. As the wild prairies were farmed and developed, far fewer places were left for the owls to nest and raise their young.Today, biologists, Indigenous groups, landowners and conservationists are working hard to restore the vital grasslands and help this precarious species recover.Includes an author’s note about successful burrowing owl recovery programs and other wild animals of Grasslands National Park.WILD BY NATUREA series for young readers that explores the unique links between ecologically sensitive species and their habitats, and encourages the preservation of the world’s wild places.Key Text Featuresillustrationsauthor’s notefurther informationfurther readingfactsCorrelates to the Common Core States Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.7Use the illustrations and details in a text to describe its key ideas.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.3Describe the connection between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.6Identify the main purpose of a text, including what the author wants to answer, explain, or describe.
