Download or read book Little Loon on the Lake written by Debbie Delung Reinertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The awe-inspiring Common Loon with its haunting primitive call echoing across the water, reminds us of the inner knowledge that we are close to and part of the earth. Although chicks leave the nest almost immediately and are able to swim, they are dependent on the adults to be fed and protected until they learn to fish and to be on their own. After its flight south for the winter, in the following spring, the bird that began life as a fluffy chick bobbing on the water returns to the northern lakes as an elegant adult to once more use its innate abilities and claim its place on the lake and in our hearts, as the spirit of the north. As the reader goes through each experience with the chick, one will be led on the path to awareness, and developing and strengthening one's own natural intuitive power and confidence in new and challenging situations. Through the Little Loon's trust of inner feelings and direct knowing, the reader sees how they too can access and benefit from this source of information at every step. Little Loon on the Lake is for ages 4 and up and follows the life of a loon chick from birth to its flight as it migrates south. The reader witnesses the delights and dangers experienced by the chick as it learns from its parents - good habits, strengths, diet, who their enemies are, and coping skills - all methods to survive and thrive through outer and inner guidance. This story also assures children, through the loon's experiences, that all is right within our world. There is that special time when children realize the protective adult in their life cannot always be with them, or there may be events of which they are unsure. Children can emotionally relate to and share the loon's confidence in the world within which we live, honing innate abilities that assist in coping with life changes and challenges. Little Loon on the Lake serves as a professional and parenting tool to teach children appreciation and confidence in themselves and their world. This story lends itself to thematic teaching with possibilities for activities that will expand environmental awareness as well as emotional and intuitive attentiveness.

Book excerpt: Little Loon traces the birth and first summer of a loon chick on a New England lake, ending with the loon’s migration for the winter. Readers follow along as the baby loon grows and discovers the world around her. Along the way, they’ll learn that loons are so perfectly adapted to life in the water that it’s very difficult for them to walk on land. They only come out of the water to lay eggs, so their nests are built are very close to shore and are very susceptible to flooding in heavy rains. Readers will also discover that the biggest threats to loons come from people—boats, pollution, and fishing tackle. Lavishly illustrated in full color, the book closes with a page of pertinent loon facts and ways for children to help protect this beloved waterfowl.
