Amazing Animal Journeys

by Chris Packham (Author), Jason Cockcroft  (Illustrator)

Review: Beautifully illustrated, Amazing Animal Journeys is a perfect introduction to animal migration for young readers. Written in child-friendly language, the book starts by explaining what migration is. Chris Packham, the author, points out that migrations do not necessarily have to involve large distances. The book then proceeds to highlight a variety of animals and their migrations overland, in the air or water. Featured animals include well-known species such as wildebeest, leatherback turtles and monarch butterflies, as well as lesser-known species such as golden jellyfish. A “Discover More” section at the end provides additional tidbits of information about each animal included. A lovely introduction. 

Watch below to see a flick-through of the book. 

Suggested Reading Age: 4 years and up. 

Migration: Incredible Animal Journeys

by Mike Unwin (Author), Jenni Desmond (Illustrator)

Review: This appealing book engagingly presents the migratory habits of a wide range of creatures. The author directly addresses the reader as each animal is introduced, helping them better understand the animal or its journey. Stunning illustrations further elevate the text and are a joy to look at in their own right. A world map at the end of the book plots the migrations of all the animals discussed. An accompanying paragraph considers how human activity and actions are impacting animal migrations. This makes for thoughtful reading and a great conversation starter. This would make a super addition to any library. 

Suggested Reading Age : 5 – 8 years old. A lot of text accompanies the illustrations in this book. In my opinion, this makes it more suitable as a read-aloud for the younger end of the age bracket, and a book that older readers can enjoy by themselves.

Epic Animal Migrations

by Camilla De La Bédoyère 

Review: Epic Animal Migrations features 12 animal migrations over 32 pages. Each migration is addressed over a double-page spread. The information is presented using a mixture of photographs, fonts, font sizes, eye-catching headlines and short, punchy pieces of text. The spreads feature a map showing the migration route and a colourful timeline that allows readers to understand where on the journey the animal is and when. Inset boxes entitled“ Migration Mystery” highlight aspects of migration that continue to puzzle scientists. This is a super book to dip into that is not text-heavy and presents the information in a fun, accessible way. The inclusion of zooplankton makes a nice addition to more commonly addressed migrations. 

Suggested Reading Age : 9 – 11 years old. 

The Big Picture Animal Migrations

by Jon Richards 

Review: In a similar vein to Epic Animal Migrations featured above, The Big Picture Animal Migrations presents some of the most familiar migration journeys in a visually accessible manner. Beautiful illustrations coupled with eye-catching graphics hold readers’ attention throughout. Each migration has a dedicated double-page spread. Additional facts about the animals in question further extend readers’ knowledge. The European eel, army ants and plankton all feature. The Big Picture Animal Migrations provides an enjoyable starting point when exploring this topic. 

Suggested Reading Age : 9 – 11 years old. In my opinion, this would also be accessible for slightly younger readers, too.

Supernavigators: Exploring The Wonders Of How Animals Find Their Way

By David Barrie

Review: If you have ever wondered how animals undertake their amazing migratory journeys each year, wonder no more. Supernavigators provides a highly readable insight into the mysteries of animal migration. Countless examples of animal navigation, including humans, dung beetles and red ants, are provided along with many that scientists have yet to fully understand or explain, such as crocodile and elephant navigation. Supernavigators works equally well read in one go or dipped in and out of. Please note that this book is also sold under the title Incredible Journeys . Well worth the read. 

Suggested Reading Age: Older teens and adults.

Happy Reading!

Amazing Animal Journeys

Jennifer cossins, amazing animal journeys , lothian children’s books, october 2022, 64 pp., rrp $26.99 (hbk), isbn 9780734421432  .

Award winning Tasmanian artist Jennifer Cossins’ recent title is the nonfiction  Amazing Animal Journeys. It targets middle-grade children and would be ideal in school libraries and home school studies. Cossins’ digital illustrations include bold colours and dynamic spreads across two pages. Although it is text heavy with the introduction and three-page conclusion on climate change, it brings valuable lessons to students.  

She advocates for human action to support reducing climate change from eating less meat and dairy products to decreasing land clearing and collecting rubbish on the beach so that migrating sea turtles don’t accidently eat the plastic. Other simple tips that have been touted for years also get a mention such as turning off taps to save water.   

Details about each animal—some of whom will be familiar but not others – needs attentiveness. However, the pleasure in discovering new animal life inspires interest and inquisitiveness. The migrations of animals, birds and insects are an informative and vibrant way for readers aged seven and above.

There are so many amazing online options when it comes to zoos that we couldn’t narrow it down to just one. Most zoos have live webcams in some of their most popular exhibits, such as the KC Zoo Polar Bear Cam and the Giant Panda Cam at Smithsonian’s National Zoo . However, some zoos offer a more in-depth look. You’ll definitely want to check out the San Diego Zoo as their site for kids includes behind-the-scenes videos and stories, as well as a variety of printable activities and online games. Check out our full list of virtual zoo goodness.

3. The Aquarium

It’s a similar story with aquariums. You have your pick of live webcams, but our favorites are the Georgia Aquarium’s Ocean Voyager webcam (wait for the whale shark!) and the “Jelly Cam” at Monterey Bay Aquarium (so soothing). The Seattle Aquarium even has a 30-minute video tour . Want more under-the-sea fun? Here’s our ultimate list of virtual aquarium field trips.

The classic preschool field trip goes online! You can have your pick of dairy farm field trips, but we like this one from the Dairy Alliance  and this one from Stonyfield Organic .

Check out everything the National Park Service has to offer virtually.

Through compelling personal stories, innovative interactive media, and pop culture artifacts, the exhibit takes guests through seven decades of history—from the dawn of the nuclear age to significant policy questions our leaders face today.

No, really! You can absolutely “go” to the red planet. With Access Mars , you can see the actual surface of Mars, recorded by NASA’s Curiosity rover. Trust us—don’t skip the intro.

Does God Lead Us Into Temptation? (The Lord’s Prayer Pt. 5)

Sermon on the Mount E24 – Many of us first learned the King James translation of the final, personal request in the Lord’s Prayer: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” But does God actually lead us into temptation? In a motif that weaves throughout the Hebrew Bible, we see God allowing tests to strengthen his partnership with humans. When this motif picks up in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is the one experiencing testing. In this episode, Tim, Jon, and Michelle explore the theme of testing and temptation throughout the Bible and in the life of Jesus. From his own experience, Jesus teaches us to pray for protection from temptation and for rescue when it comes.

What Forgiveness Is and Isn't (The Lord's Prayer Pt. 4)

Sermon on the Mount E23 – The second half of the Lord’s prayer contains four requests on behalf of the person praying. The second personal request is for God to forgive us. But forgiveness is not just a transaction between individuals or between God and humans. Forgiveness plays a central role in the arrival of God’s Kingdom. In this episode, Jon, Tim, and Michelle explore what forgiveness is, what it isn't, and what it looks like to set each other free.

• MAY 27, 2024

What Does Jesus Mean by “Daily Bread”? (The Lord’s Prayer Pt. 3)

Sermon on the Mount E22 – The first half of the Lord’s Prayer features three requests on behalf of God and his Kingdom: he is our Father in the skies, whose name we recognize as holy and whose way of life we want to see on the land. The second half of the Lord’s prayer focuses on four personal requests, where we seek to align our needs with God’s wisdom. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the first request of “daily bread” and its connections to stories and wisdom in the Hebrew Bible.

• MAY 20, 2024

What Does “Hallowed Be Thy Name” Mean? (The Lord’s Prayer Pt. 2)

Sermon on the Mount E21 – Prayer is at the center of the center of the Sermon on the Mount. And it’s in this section of teaching that Jesus gives us a simple prayer that we can participate in. It’s only 12 lines long, but it contains a universe of ideas that center us with God. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the first half of the prayer: “Our Father who is in the skies, may your name be recognized as holy. May your Kingdom come and your will be done as it is in the skies so also on the land.”

• MAY 13, 2024

How Does Jesus Teach Us to Pray? (The Lord’s Prayer Pt. 1)

Sermon on the Mount E20 – We are now halfway through studying Jesus' most famous sermon, which brings us to the Lord’s Prayer. What’s the significance of a prayer being right here at the center? And what’s the purpose of regularly reciting a short prayer like this one? In this episode, Jon, Tim, and others kick off a five-part series on the Lord’s Prayer, exploring its structure, core ideas, and historical background.

• MAY 6, 2024

Why Say “Kingdom of the Skies” Instead of “Kingdom of Heaven”? – Sermon on the Mount Q+R 2

Sermon on the Mount Q+R 2 (E19) – How do we reconcile Jesus’ words about the Law with other New Testament teachings? How is God’s justice with gehenna different from karma? And why does the BibleProject translation of the Sermon on the Mount refer to the Kingdom of Heaven as the Kingdom of the skies? In this episode, Tim and Jon respond to your questions on the first four case studies about righteousness (episodes 9-14) in the Sermon on the Mount series. Thank you to our audience for your incredible questions!

Forgiveness

I have a story of forgiveness in my own life which over the years I have told and have discovered in the telling that with Jesus, there is no formula. He asks us to forgive regardless of the relationship after and in spite of the fact that the other person never apologizes or repents. And if we do that, we are free of the burden of their sin. I love how you guys are not weakening the argument that we are called to forgive—no matter what. Because that is where the power is.I hear so many people just trying to say that Jesus didn’t mean it in certain situations, or in my situation. Great podcast!

Thought Provoking and Deep!

If you want a deep dive into the Bible, biblical themes, and Jesus - this Podcast will take you there! I just listened to the Tree of Life series and the theme of the tree throughout the Bible is mind-blowing! I loved the Bible Project Videos, but this Podcast takes it even deeper! A must listen!

This week’s episode has me reflecting on how daily forgiveness is as essential for our life in the current age as bread or food is for our bodies
