The Reptile Club / by Fergus, Maureen.; Ellis, Elina.;
Rory just knew that there were other kids out there who shared his passion for reptiles--and he couldn't wait to meet them! He starts a Reptile Club at school, but to his astonishment it's not his schoolmates who attend the first meeting, but a crocodile, an anaconda and a gecko! As the four of them get to know each other--each explaining their unique talents and sharing interesting reptile facts--the kids in Rory's school see how much fun they're having and decide to join the club, too. Never in the history of the world have mammals and reptiles gotten along so well. At every meeting, the Reptile Club does something fun and different. They even come up with a secret password and hand signal. But one blustery day in late autumn, the reptiles announce that it's time for them to go--they need to either hibernate or head to a warmer climate. Rory's friends, now reptile enthusiasts, continue with the club after they're gone, but it just isn't the same. So Rory, who loves dinosaurs almost as much as he loves reptiles, comes up with an idea for a new club...LSC

An immense world : how animal senses reveal the hidden realms around us / by Yong, Ed,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of an immense world.This book welcomes us into a previously unfathomable dimension-the world as it is truly perceived by other animals. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires (and fireworks), songbirds that can see the Earth's magnetic fields, and brainless jellyfish that nonetheless have complex eyes. We discover that a crocodile's scaly face is as sensitive as a lover's fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, and that even fingernail-sized spiders can make out the craters of the moon. We meet people with unusual senses, from women who can make out extra colors to blind individuals who can navigate using reflected echoes like bats. Yong tells the stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, and also looks ahead at the many mysteries which lie unsolved"--

The first adventure in the New York Times bestselling fantasy trilogy from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do’Urden. In Pinquickle’s Folly, New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore returns to his signature world of Corona, introducing a dynamic new part of the southern coast never written of before as a great starting place for readers in the DemonWars Saga: The Buccaneers. The first adventure in the Buccaneers trilogy begins in the free sea outside of the control of the usurping Xoconai empire, where the dwarven powrie pirates and merchants sail. But the golden-skinned Xoconai have begun to encroach upon these waters behind the rapacious attacks of the frigate Crocodile, helmed by Captain Aketz. But when forced to submit, these sailors choose to live, free to do as they please, without some fool or another pretending to hold power over them. Fantasy master R. A. Salvatore brings together a misfit band of Xoconai, powerie, and human sailors—once enemies, now fierce friends with a common enemy, and the spark of rebellion in this action-packed piratical adventure.
