Our Newest Book in the “On the Banks of Durbin Creek” series!
This is truly an extraordinary book with an exciting perspective
as you see our wilderness along the banks of Durbin Creek through the eyes of our adventurous rabbits Chip and Sherwood! From sunrise to sunset there is adventure as you meet the wild animals, travel the wooded paths and are thrilled at the close up encounters! The beautiful detailed full page panoramic photos show the “rabbit’s eye view” of the forest foliage, the gardens, berry patches, the thickets and follow the rabbit visits to the sandy shoreline along Durbin Creek. What a visual feast for the eyes that every reader enjoys whatever their age. Loretta Hayward’s amazing collection of photographs depict the challenges of capturing pictures of wildlife especially rabbits. Every page is a splendid teaching tool with helpful footnotes identifying new animals that are introduced throughout the story.
Readers will also enjoy searching some of the special pages for camouflaged creatures! Those activities will heightening their awareness of life surrounding them and the animals that are watching the rabbits on the trail. Our four page illustrated glossary is another valuable asset for vocabulary development and reinforcing new reading skill development. Adults are enthralled as well as youth! Elementary as well as high school teachers also use our fascinating books in their classes and instruction.
“Good books are friends we can share!!”
Books by Loretta Hayward can be autographed!
