GREAT book for kids!!

I homeschool my two kids - ages 2 and 4 and we have TONS of books. We read all of the time. They LOVE this series of books! They re-enact the stories, over and over. They're written in rhyme, which is entertaining and educational for them as well. The stories really hold their attention and the pictures that accompany each story are beautiful . Finally, don't miss all of the interesting facts at the end of each book! HIGHLY recommended series!!

A Loyal Fan

I am a college student attending Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. For the last three months, I have been working as a public relations intern for Frances and Hugh Keiser, the author and illustrator of this book. In that short amount of time, I have fallen in love with Pelican Pete. I find these stories both adorable and educational. Working with Hugh and Frances has been an experience I won't forget, and as a previously declared Elementary Education major, I would recommend these books to be used in any school. All the facts in the books are checked by scientific professionals for accuracy. You really can't go wrong with this series, children of all ages should enjoy it. I have been working extensively with Frances and Hugh in helping them prep their newest book for it's release, and the new book "Annie the River Otter" is a worthy addition to the series.

Pelican Pete begins to grow up in a New Book!!

Have you read Pelican Pete, Preening for Flight? I liked it even better than the first, "A Bird is Born." It is one of those stories that teaches children about perserverance. And I love the reassuring note at the beginning that all the natural history facts had been checked by a scientist from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. We often just accept that what we read to our children is factual when it may not be. There is also a "Did you know" section and suggestions for learning more about pelicans at the back of the book--treasure troves for curious children and parents.Carolyn Howard-Johnson, author of "This is the Place"

The Adventures of Pelican Pete

I wish I knew more young children because this is a wonderful gift -- a captivating children's book combining pictures and verse. It's a book that parents can enjoy with their kids.

Pelican Pete

It's a wonderful book! I really enjoy reading this book to my son. He loves to look at the pictures.. It's an easy, enjoyable story.
