I Found a Baby Squirrel, What Do I Do?

Customer Reviews:

GREAT book.......2003-10-01

Thank goodness someone came out with a practical guide. These people that scream 'rehabber!' are usually either rehabbers, or happy to sacrifice the baby squirrel to their almighty esoteric beliefs. The reality is, there might NOT be a rehabber in your area, or, if there is, they may not be able to give the baby the time and attention that it will need to survive. GET THIS BOOK!

Killing the baby squirrel.......2001-06-16

Really a bit off base... If you had just found a baby squirrel you would not generally have the necessary items around the house to take care of a baby squirrel.... You most likely are doing it more harm by trying to treat it (other than getting it warm - around 1-2 degrees higher than your normal body temp) take it to a rehabber... get online to get the closest rehaber near your... just type in squirrel in the address and it will find you a dozen locations to find you a rehabber...

The book is very well structured, very clear and very rich illustrated with nice and clear pictures.

Great preschool swim instruction book for parents........2007-01-04

I am a swim instructor and I think this book does a great job covering everything that should be taught to infants and preschoolers. It also is the best priced swim instruction book that I have come accross for the intended age group. I recomend it to any parents that want to start teaching their kids the basics of swimming.

Teaching Infant and Preschool Aquatics: Water Experiences the Australian Way.......2006-02-24

Informative and logical. Every Swim Instructor and baby aquatics teacher should have one on hand for quick reference. I recommend strongly for all parents of babies attending aquatics programs.

Good for new swimming teachers.......2003-01-05

This book is a very thorough introduction to teaching swimming to young children and is great for new swimming instructors. It covers the basics how a child's developmental stage intersects with the kinds of swimming skills and water safety children are ready to take on. However, I found it does not provide teachers with concrete ways to actually operationalize these skills through water play and songs. A few pages at the end of the book list out sample lesson plans, but if you aren't familiar with the songs listed you are out of luck (many of them appear to be australian children's songs). To be ready to teach a class you would also need to find a book of water songs and games for kids of different developmental stages.

of limited use for parents.......2001-06-24

I bought this book hoping to find some specific exercises I could practice with my child in our pool. It was not very useful for that purpose. The book seems more of a way for existing swimming teachers to learn about this organization's philosophies on child development as it pertains to aquatics. It was nice to read a detailed accounting of why a 1-year-old resists back-floating but I wanted more of an idea of how to teach my child to blow bubbles and other beginning skills. It really doesn't go into actually showing you how to teach skills. This is a pitfall of buying a book based only on the title. Were I able to flip through it first, I would've realized this was probably not the book I was looking for.

decorative.......2007-01-11

must see, for the graphic artist, especially one who designs fabrics papers repeat prints

very good informative book.......2003-02-09

i've got this a bout 2 month ago and used it a lot, for both art, graphic works and just as somthing nice to look at, unlike the full color pictoral archive this is a very thural book, it has a lot of designs of allover patterns.

it's not one of those alboms you buy just to look at, it's a proffesional usful book for people who uses those designs for either decoration of wall or tiles and probebly decofague, quiltings, needle point and so on, for me patters is somthing i use a lot in my painting and this have proven to be useful in many oppertunities.

Good design resource in black and white.......1999-04-24

This is a Dover picturial archive book, so almost the entire book is black/white designs. Many are very flowery and detailed. Many would make either good fabric or better wallpaper designs. I bought the book for ceramic tile designs and had to weed through for something that would work. Most of the designs were too much for my purposes. Still a very good source of inspiration, as all Dover books are!

Informative and resourceful.......2000-05-13

The photographs brought out the beauty of the sheltie and the book helped me to better understand him. It's definately a plus for sheltie lovers and owners.

Colorful and well written book.......1999-12-30

This manual-sized book is full of gorgeous color photos of Shelties, although mostly tri-colored ones. It is very professionally written and informative, and also has a page in the back where you can record information on your dog, as well as add a photograph. The last page includes an airbrushed illustration of the general external features of the Shetland Sheepdog.

A great read.......2007-09-07

Extremely well written! I never lost interest. If you enjoy the outdoors and like to camp, then you'll love this book. If you have kids and want them to enjoy the outdoors and discover what it would be like to live off of the land, then this book is for you. If you'd like to teach your kids how to survive in an emergency situation then this is a good start.
I definitely recommend buying the book and keeping it as a reference guide on your coffee table.

A great read and informative book.......2006-11-11

This is a great book for anyone who is interested in their children's future and well being, as well as strengthening the relationship they share with their children. It is also a great selection for anyone, of any age, who is interested in learning wilderness survival skills and living closer to the Earth. Do not be fooled by the title, this book contains some very advanced techniques that are only taught in some of Tom's most advanced classes. The skills are presented in an easy to learn/easy to teach format and each skill is presented in a way that opens up opportunities to have lots of fun with your children and at the same time pass on invaluable knowledge to them. The book covers most of the basic survival skills such as; Shelter building, where to find water, basic fire making, finding food, easily identifiable edible plants, making tools, cordage, erecting traps and snares, stalking, basic tracking as well as some very advanced techniques such as; camouflage, wide angle vision, night stalking and tracking, lost proofing, Scout games and activities and most importantly a general respect for the Earth and our environment. Highly recommended to anyone, parent or not, who is interested in learning or teaching nature survival skills, and living a more fulfilling life than modern society offers us or our children.

Unique and inspiring.......2002-04-08

This book can be useful to people of any religion. As a Christian, I was not offended, although I agree that the author definitely does not share my spiritual beliefs. We can all benefit from connecting to nature and developing a greater level of understanding/awareness/respect of the beauty that surrounds us... especially as children. Do not pass by this wonderful book because of a religious bias. Remove the wheat from the chaff, absorb the good information and ignore the rest.

I like it.......1999-04-02

I present Stone Age technology in school programs. I find Brown's information quite useful.

You, and your kids, can learn to pay attention to nature........1998-08-08

An excellent resource for parents, teachers, etc. I even found many of the suggestions useful for myself and other adult friends. I used many of the exercises with 3rd through 6th graders as a Girl Scout leader.

Be surprised at how little of the natural world you appreciate on a daily basis. Learn to really see and hear.

Also good for general awareness building and personal security issues for kids in urban environments. A good read.

Book Description

Although Levin Still bought his freedom, his wife had to take hers by running away. Countless other blacks did the same via the Underground Railroad, and scores of them were helped in Philadelphia by Levin's youngest son, William Still. This fearless man was Executive Secretary of the city's Anti-slavery Society; in this position he kept meticulous records of the fugitives he aided and sent on to Canada. In 1872, almost a decade after Emancipation, he organized his accounts and published on of the major documents of the times, The Underground Railroad.
