Perfect for preschool and kindergarten science curriculums.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn owl swoops down to lay her egg in a coal yard--a dangerous spot for a fragile egg! Rescued by Walter, a bird expert with a big heart and a warm shirt pocket, the egg miraculously hatches and is aptly named Coal. Thus begins a tender story of rescue, rehabilitation, and most of all, friendship. After meticulously researching the facts, Michelle Houts tells Coal's story with warmth and humor. The connections between Coal and the people whose lives he touches are captured by Deb Hoeffner's illustrations, done in her unique style of soft realism. Backmatter answers children's questions with facts and photos of Great Horned Owls and Walter Crawford \"The Man Who Saved Coal.\" Parents and teachers will appreciate literacy connections and STEM activities that extend the learning of the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA perfect book for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eparents and teachers needing homeschool supplies for kindergarten (or any grade!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eanyone looking for owl books for kids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eanyone looking for children's books to help instill an appreciation of our planet!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Houts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1584696478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584696476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawn Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.70w x 0.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2019","brand":"Michelle Houts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986974998783,"sku":"9781584696476","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cad5fe1c-4f90-4ba9-9d56-8057319432a6.jpg?v=1683286264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silent-swoop-michelle-houts-9781584696476","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
