Just uploaded Awesome Chesapeake, so if anyone is interested they can grab
it. It is a kids field guide to the Chesapeake Bay, has some really neat
facts in it.
Here is the book jacket.
How much do you really know about the Chesapeake Bay?
Can you name something living in the Bay that is also found in candy bars? A
prehistoric arthropod used to fight cancer? A fish more often found in a
paint can than on a dinner plate? A male creature that hatches its young
from eggs? An animal easier to see at night than during the day? Can you
define a bay? An estuary? A watershed? An airshed?
Find the answers to these questions and more in Awesome Chesapeake.
Warning to Kids: Don't let your teachers see this book. They'll want to use
it in the classroom!
Warning to Teachers: Don't let your students find out that this book is not
only educational, it's also fun!
It would really add to the book if there were pictures, but... you know, if
there isn't the time, or the energy, then don't get done, smile.
Am not in a hurry to have the book done, but it is a good book, and will add
to the material Bookshare has on the Bay. My last student Teaching
assignment, I wrote a unit on the Chesapeake Bay and used the younger
version of this book Chesapeake Bay Walk, which is also somewhere in the
validation process. We also have three books about Chadwick the Crab from
the Chesapeake too.
Just a heads up, smile.
