Before enchanting children with her stories, Beatrix Potter was an accomplished scientist & naturalist.

She had a particular interest in mycology, the study of fungi.

Makes you think of Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden differently, huh?

• ​Hello, Puddle!​
  ​By Anita Sanchez (Illustrated by Lisa Uribe)​
  ​
  ​A normal everyday puddle may not seem very special. But for a mother turtle, it might be the perfect place to lay her eggs. For a squirrel, it might be the only spot to cool off and get a drink when the sun is shining down in July. And for any child, it can be a window into the natural world outside their window.

• ​We're All In the Same Boat​
  By Barney Saltzberg​
  ​
  We're all in the same boat, both literally and metaphorically, in this playful look at how we can work together for the common good. The animals in this boat discover that working together gets them much further and is more fun than trying to go their separate ways.
  ​
• ​Sigh Like a Sloth
  ​By Nicole LaRue
  ​​
  Encourages toddlers to mimic the actions of animals both familiar and exotic. Sigh like a sloth, roar like a lion, buzz like a bee. These simple, engaging prompts help children focus on the benefits of mindful breath, helping to relieve stress and develop a mind-body connection.
