Some Strengths of Dog-Eared Publications' "Discovering Nature Library"

The aim of Dog-Eared Publications is to introduce youngsters to wonders of the natural world and the universal forces at work, "hook" children on science and help raise the next generation with an environmental ethic.

The books:

• are written by scientists and science educators
• Publisher Nancy Field has a master's degree in wildlife biology. She has taught several college classes on the principles of biology and environmental education to future elementary teachers.
• are scientifically accurate, relevant, and are continually updated.
• introduce current scientists, research and environmental problems without being critical of any particular groups of people.
• illustrate ethically diverse individuals and depict women scientists as role models for young girls (since it is shown girls often drop out of science by 9th grade), yet also provide male role models.
• are action packed, hands-on or interactive, enhancing learning retention.
• are excellent resources for whole language teaching.
• provide content and variety of meaningful activities that easily correlate with the curriculum.
• supplement the traditional reading program with short reading passages.
• meet the needs of a diverse and large population of children
• contain activities developed with various learning strategies in mind, providing opportunities for cooperative learning, development of critical thinking skills, problem solving and creativity.
• provide quality science at affordable prices.
• Two titles, Discovering Endangered Species and Discovering Marine Mammals have been National Wildlife Federation - Ranger Rick Specials.
• are approved by California Dept. of Education in their "Instructional Material Approved for Legal Compliance"

The Wildlife, Fish and Rare Plants Division of the Washington D. C. Forest Service Office has recommended our titles for use in aquatic, fish and wildlife interpretation. They have supplied hundreds of our books of various titles to regional offices of the USDA Forest Service, and have asked the representatives to find ways to get the books in the hands of the public and teachers.
