From the first glow of magma at the bottom of the ocean, to the flowing lava that hardens and builds up higher and higher until it breaks through the water's surface, here is the story of the birth of an island. As the island matures, signs of life appear: first, small plants and animals, and later, people. This is a tale as old--and as new--as the ground we walk on, and it has been illustrated with gorgeous collage art. Includes an endnote detailing how volcanic islands form and a list of recommended reading.--Publisher

What is "normal?" That's the question an eager young scientist, narrating her very first book, hopes to answer. Unfortunately, her exceedingly "normal" subject--an orangutan named Norman--turns out to be exceptionally strange. He speaks English, sleeps in a bed, loves his stuffed toy, goes bananas over pizza, and even deep-sea dives! Oh, no: what's a "normal" scientist to do? A humorous look at the wackiness that makes us all special-- and a gentle reminder that "normal" can't ever be defined!--Publisher
