Learn about Texas Insects
Compiled by Chris Durden

Joining the ranks of Texas Parks and Wildlife's acclaimed Learn About... series, this educational activity book features what are probably the most numerous and easily observed of Texas' animal residents. Here children from six to twelve are introduced to the marvelous world of "bugs"—that great host of hopping, crawling, flying, and buzzing creatures more properly called insects.
Youngsters can color eye-catching line drawings of many of the most common, as well as unusual, Texas insects—all of them interesting, some of them beneficial, and some, without question, pests. The accompanying easy-to-read text gives important facts about insect lifeways and insects' roles in nature. Interspersed throughout are instructive games and suggested activities. Included, too, is a 17" by 22" coloring poster.

Для детей 6- 12 лет, энтомологов и просто любителей насекомых, если таковые вообще найдутся.

The Twits
by Roald Dahl

"Dahl is too good a storyteller to become predictable, so you never know whether the tyrant or the tyrannized will win in the end." - Daily Telegraph.
"Have there ever been two more wretched people than Mr. and Mrs. Twit? They're not just horrible, they're extra–specially horrible. Mr. Twit has a beard that houses every bit of moldy food that nearly made it to his mouth. Mrs. Twit has a glass eye which she likes to pop in her husband's beer, saying, "I've got eyes everywhere so you'd better be careful." But Mr. Twit can play tricks on his wife that are just as clever and nasty. The Muggle–Wump monkeys, stuck in a cage in the Twit's weedy, grubby garden, have been watching them play tricks on each other for years. Now Mr. Muggle–Wump has an idea for a trick of his own –– and he's going to make monkeys out of the Twits!"

Для детей и всех любителей рыбалки.

Ages 6 to adult (who doesn't like to color and learn?)
More than just a coloring-and-activity book for upper-elementary-school-age children, this book includes detailed information about the anatomy of fish, ancient fishes, and the 174 species of freshwater fishes found in Texas today. Grouped by type (jawless, bony, etc.), the fish are illustrated with black-and-white line drawings, and each fish's distinguishing features and marks are described.
Here's the definitive guide to all the ones that—hopefully—won't get away while you're fishing Texas' abundant fresh waters. Sportsmen and -women will find all their favorites—bass, crappie, sunfish, catfish, buffalo, shad, and trout, to mention just a few, in large, full-color illustrations coupled with an easy-to-read, informative text.
This colorful, attractive publication features 46 of Texas' most important and interesting freshwater fishes and gives details on each species' distribution, appearance, and life habits, along with angling tips and other fishing information. The author, Earl W. Chilton II, is a fisheries biologist working in the Inland Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
