Children’s Book About Caterpillars: A Kids Picture Book About Caterpillars with Photos and Fun Facts

Caterpillars start out being a little creepy and crawly, but their transformation into a beautiful butterfly or even a moth rivals any makeover program we have today. Let’s take a fascinating journey to explore the world of the caterpillar.

The caterpillar is the larval stage of butterflies and moths. It can be found throughout the world in forests, sandy beaches, mountains and gardens. At this stage the caterpillar is ravenous and will eat constantly. Most are herbivores and will stick to leaves and other plant matter; however, some will also eat fungi, other parts of the plant, animal matter and even other caterpillars.

Children’s Book About Kangaroos: A Kids Picture Book About Kangaroos with Photos and Fun Facts

The kangaroo is a strange looking animal. With its long tail, powerful legs and built-in basinet, this creature is sure to draw more than a few looks. Let’s take a leap “down under” to learn more about this animal.

Kangaroos are indigenous to Eastern Australia where they can be found living in large groups, called troops or herds (mobs in Aussie). These groups can be as large as 50 members consisting of males, females and their young. Living in these large herds helps keep the kangaroo safe against predators such as the wild dogs of Australia called, Dingoes. Man is also a threat to these animals as they are hunted for their meat. Outside of these two predators, kangaroos are also facing the loss of their habitat.

In the wild most kangaroos will eat leaves, shoots, grass and fruit (when available). They like to eat in the early morning or the evening. The kangaroo also has the ability to regurgitate its food and re-chew it – much like the cow. The smaller kangaroo, like the musky rat-kangaroo enjoys a more varied diet of insects like grasshoppers, beetles and insect larvae, as well as seeds and fruit. With the kangaroo’s daily intake of fresh green leaves and grasses, it very seldom needs to drink water.

Children’s Book About Motorcycles: A Kids Picture Book About Motorcycles With Photos and Fun Facts

Like cars, the motorcycle has gained notability over the years and has now become one of our favorite and economically sound ways to get around. However, the first motorcycle was far from our modern ones. Let’s take a look back in history to see where it all began.

The journey of the motorcycle can be traced back to the second half of the 19th century to an improvement made to the safety bicycle. These bicycles had both the front and back wheels of equal size and also incorporated a pedal crank mechanism to the back wheel.

It is not for certain who first invented the motorcycle. Around the time there were many engineers working on the concept; however, it was a blacksmith in Paris named, Pierre Michaux (Michaux and company) who made the first bicycle with pedals called the velocipede. Michaux’s son, Ernest, later went on to add a steam-powered engine to this bicycle in 1867. This was the first step towards our modern-day motorbikes.

Children’s Book About Octopus: A Kids Picture Book Octopus with Photos and Fun Facts

There is around 300 different species of the octopus. They live in all the warm ocean waters around the world. They have round bulbous heads, eight arms, bulgy eyes and a hard beak at the center point of their body. The closest relation to the octopus is the squid. Strangely enough the octopus is considered the “monster of the deep.” Perhaps because of its scary portrayal on television and movies; however, the octopus spends most of its time living a solitary life along the bottom of the ocean.

All octopus are venomous, but only the Blue-Ringed group are deadly to humans. The octopus is also highly intelligent. Studies show that the octopus has both short and long-term memory capabilities.

The ray comes in 60 species and is a cousin to the shark, not because they are vicious but because they have no bones. Like the shark the ray is made up of pure cartledge – feel your nose, that’s like a ray’s body. Stingrays look like a flying saucer with broad flat fins that run along the entire length of their body. The fins on the ray are designed to propel it through the water, either by using their entire body or by flapping them in a flying-type motion.

These fish are not by any means small. They can grow up to 6.5 feet long (2 meters) long and weigh up to 790 pounds (358 kilograms). The stingray also has a long tail that is designed for defense and is where it got its name from. Depending on the species, this tail can have spines running down it coming to a point with razor-sharp serrations or notches. In addition to this […]
