On The Banks of the Amazon- Enter into a rain forest adventure full of mystery, exotic plants, and wondrous creatures.  Dawn breaks.  Howler monkeys call with haunting growls from the treetops as poison dart frogs search out insects on the forest floor.  Pink dolphins swim the mighty Amazon while caimans float, still as driftwood.  Two wildlife hunters watch and listen.  What are they doing there!  Find out as you explore the banks of the Amazon.  Hardback $16.96, Paperback $7.95.  Appalachian Writers Association's Book of the Year for Children, 2004.

Review:  “…The text is rhythmic in both English and Spanish, giving a factually accurate description of a particular niche in this disappearing habitat.  Text and pictures are bordered, with the bright detailed watercolor illustrations both reinforcing and augmenting the text…”—School Library Journal, December 2004
