Preening for Flight is the second book in the fascinating Adventures of Pelican Pete series. Endorsed by educators and wildlife experts, the rhyming picture book is a means to help educate young children (and those who read to them) on ways to aid our wildlife and environment in an entertaining format.
Vivid full color illustrations, flowing narrative, and accurate information make this book popular with children, parents, and educators alike. A "Did You Know?" page of facts follows the story to foster further discussions, and the "To Learn More" page lists resources for additional information.
Our mission is to help protect earth's natural beauty, habitats, and wildlife for continuing generations by helping children to know and understand the natural world around them, to enjoy and appreciate its workings, and thereby to create a desire to protect it.
The series of Pelican Pete books has received the following Awards and Honors: International Reading Association's Children's Choices; Teachers' Choice; Mom's Choice; iParenting Media Award Best Product-Children's Books; Book of the Year for Environment Education; and the Florida Publishers Association Best Children's Fiction and Best Florida Title.
The books are also included in the Accelerated Reader and Scholastic's Reading Counts programs throughout the country.
