Les opossums - Gallois, Gina

. .

Résumé :
Les opossums m?ritent absolument une nouvelle image. Depuis trop longtemps, on les traite de plongeurs de poubelle infest?s de maladies, d'?normes rats qui fouillent dans les bennes, et pire encore ! Ces douces et aimables cr?atures sont, tout simplement, timides et introverties. Elles fuient le regard des autres, mais leur r?le en tant qu' animal de m?nage dans l'?cosyst?me de l'Am?rique est essentielle. ? l'aide de rimes charmantes et d'illustrations fantaisistes, Les opossums : tout et son contraire encourage les enfants ? s'identifier ? ceux qui sont diff?rents d'eux. Version anglaise: Ever felt misunderstood? Opossums deserve a reputation makeover. They've been called dumpster divers, disease-ridden trash cats and worse! They've been underappreciated and misunderstood long enough. These lovable, gentle creatures are simply shy, introverted spirits who avoid the spotlight, but as cleaner-uppers, they are essential to our ecosystem. Opossum Opposites playfully progresses through the life cycle of one of nature's unsung heroes and teaches readers of all ages about why we should respect and protect them. Readers gain a greater understanding of opossums' importance in the larger ecosystem we all call home. Each page spread contains a short rhyming poem addressing an opposing pair such as day & night or scary & afraid. Additional information for factoid lovers is clearly separated from the poems for easy selection of age appropriate passages.
