I think this book is interesting because it tells people about John Hancock's life, hobbies, and so on. I think the most interesting part was John Hancock's singing the Declaration of Independence so large that the King didn't need to put on his glasses to read it. It was also interesting when he invited 30 French officers to breakfast and 120 officers arrived instead. Some days poor kids ran alongside his carriage and he gave them some coins.

This is a good book. Badgers have long claws they use to dig burrows where they live and to defend themselves. They have few predators but wolves, coyotes and eagles will eat a badger cub. Badgers live in family groups but not all species do they live alone.

This is a good book. Puffins are great swimmers and eat lots of fish. There are three species of Puffins and live in Artic regions. Humans are a big threat to Puffins due to overfishing, oil spills and ocean pollution. Gulls and other seabirds are dangers for a baby pufflings so when they are able to leave the burrow they do it at night when it is safe for them.

This is an interesting book. This book explains how Puffins are able to fly and how their body structure helps them do this and swim. The Puffin has spines on it's tongue that helps hold the fish it's catches in it's mouth. Their appearance changes in the winter and back to being colorful in summer. The biggest threat to Puffins are humans!

I liked all the facts about animal and plant life in a rain forest. The rain forest is filled with many types of plant life and animals. One of them is called a Capybara it's like a large guinea pig with web feet! There is a picture of a giant Queen Victoria water lily it's pretty amazing to see.

I like the color pictures of the tropical rain forest animals and the facts about them. The rain forest is made up of layers. You'll find tall trees some over 20 feet tall and other types of plant life. There are many animals too Lemurs, Boa constrictors and Jaguars. Much of the rain forest has yet to be discovered.
