Readers will learn all about baby giraffes, including what they eat and how they fall six feet to the ground when they are born. Amazing photographs of these super-cute animals are accompanied by Fast Facts. This book supports the Next Generation Science Standards on growth and development of organisms, biodiversity, and social interactions in animal groups by exploring such details as how calves learn to stand within a half hour after being born, and how they protect themselves in the wild. Budding scientists can follow giraffe calves as they grow into independent adults.

The bestselling creators of the hilarious Penguin Problems, Jory John and Lane Smith, turn a giraffe's problematic long neck into an enviable advantage in this fun board book. Edward the giraffe can't understand why his neck is as long and bendy and, well, ridiculous as it is. No other animal has a neck this absurd. He's tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding behind bushes--honestly, anything you can think of. Just when he has exhausted his neck-hiding options and is about to give up, Cyrus the turtle ambles in (very slowly) and helps Edward understand that his neck has a purpose and, besides, looks excellent in a bow tie. Along with a heavy dose of humor comes a gentle reminder about the importance of acceptance.

Brings the science of biological anthropology to bear on understanding how our evolutionary history has shaped a phenomenon everyone has experienced – childhood. Tracking deep into our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one particular feature that sets us apart from the many, many animals that came before us – our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our ancestral roots to stay 'forever young' – or at least what seems like forever – and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story. Beginning with a look at the ways animals invest in their offspring, the book moves through the many steps of making a baby, from pair-bonding to hidden ovulation, points where our species has repeatedly stepped off the standard primate path. From the mystery of monogamy to the minefield of modern parenting advice, biological anthropologist Brenna Hassett reveals how differences between humans and our closest cousins lead to our messy mating systems, dangerous pregnancies, and difficult births, and what these tell us about the kind of babies we are trying to build. Using observations of our closest primate relatives, the tiny relics of childhood that come to us from the archaeological record, and the bones and teeth of our ancestors, science has started to unravel the evolution of our childhood right down the fossil record. In our species investment doesn't stop at birth, and as Growing Up Human reveals, we can compare every aspect of our care and feeding, from the chemical composition of our milk to our fondness for formal education from ancient times onwards, in order to understand just what we evolved our weird and wonderful childhoods for.

The giraffe is the tallest animal alive today. A male giraffe can be taller than a two-story house! Giraffes look a bit like a horse with a very long neck and long legs. Their front legs are longer than their back legs. That is why their back slopes down toward their rump. They also have very thin, long tails. There is a bunch of black fur at the end of their tail. This bunch of fur is called a tuft. They use their long tail to swat flies and other bugs off their skin. A giraffe's legs are so long that he has to walk funny. Most animals move the front foot on one side and the back foot on the other side at the same time. A giraffe moves both legs on one side of its body. Then it moves the legs on the other side of its body. This book is a shortened version of our popular “Giraffes: Long-Necked Wonders" and is intended for beginning readers. With only 1294 easy to read words, young children can experience for themselves the joy of learning about the giraffe. They will find out the answers to these questions: How long does it take a baby giraffe to grow up? What color is a giraffe's tongue? How long will a giraffe go without water? How big is a giraffe's foot? Why do giraffe's have such long eyelashes? And many more!

It is estimated that in prehistoric societies children comprised at least forty to sixty-five percent of the population, yet by default, our ancestral landscapes are peopled by adults who hunt, gather, fish, knap tools and make art. But these adults were also parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles (however they would have codified these kin relationships) who had to make space physically, emotionally, intellectually, and cognitively for the infants, children and adolescents around them. The economic, social, and political roles of Paleolithic children are often understudied because they are assumed to be unknowable or negligible. Drawing on the most recent data from the cognitive sciences and from the ethnographic, fossil, archaeological, and primate records, Growing Up in the Ice Age challenges these assumptions. This volume is a timely and evidence-based look at the lived lives of Paleolithic children and the communities of which they were a part. By rendering the “invisible” children visible, readers will gain a new understanding not only of the contributions that children have made to the biological and cultural entities we are today but also of the Paleolithic period as whole.
