Students will learn about the habitats and eating habits of robins and squirrels in this entertaining and educational presentation with 2 children’s picture books and an activity booklet.
Hunting for food is never easy when you’re a squirrel—especially if you can’t climb trees. Join Shirl the Squirrel and her friend Earl the Squirrel as they overcome obstacles in the search for food. Attacked by a blue jay and chased by a cat, they manage to get away. Can Shirl keep Earl from finding out her secret?
Children will also discover how robins make a nest, lay eggs, see them hatch in 14 days, grow into fledglings, and leave the nest—while watching out for predators (cats, humans, and raccoons). Find out what robins eat and watch them grow in photographs.
$100 for presentation to 3 classes plus $13 per book.
