Mother Nature 101: Animal Species

Inquisitive Young Minds Learn About Various Animal Species in New Children's Book

From the smallest creature to the largest, whether living in the jungle, desert, ocean, rainforest or arctic tundra, all living things have mothers who nurture and protect their young. In her new children's book, "No One Has A Mom Like Mine" (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com), D. Brischke reminds readers of the enduring heritage of animals and informs inquisitive minds about the conservation necessary to ensure the continued survival of such species.

The first in a series of books designed for children and educators, "No One Has A Mom Like Mine" describes a variety of different animals through many vivid photos, informed captions and a delineation of each species. Numerous offspring howl, chirp, roar, grunt, screech, bellow and trumpet as the reader progresses, creating a wonderful tapestry of diversity and uniqueness.

The information pertaining to each young offspring eventually collapses into one great lesson about conservation. "Children learn by seeing and hearing, but many species of wildlife cannot be seen at local zoos," Brischke states. "My hope is that these books will bring these images to children so they will see what a tragedy it would be if any of the species were to completely vanish."

Encountering a number of different habitats including burrows, nests and underwater terrain, Brischke artfully guides eager minds through an adventure where mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians alike are food for thought.

Geared toward preschoolers and elementary students with an intense desire to learn, Brischke's premier book travels from ecosystem to ecosystem, meeting animals of seemingly limitless variety and temperament who share a single quality, namely motherhood. As magical as it is knowledgeable, "No One Has A Mom Like Mine" deserves a special place on every family's bookshelf.

Brischke is a retired preschool teacher of 35 years and is currently a docent at her local zoo. Many hours of her day are spent providing informative tours to visitors and school groups. In her free time, she enjoys photographing wildlife and visiting other zoos. "No One Has A Mom Like Mine" is her first publication, but more of the series will become available in the future.
