Science, Nature & How It Works

See below for English description. Il ?tait une fois un orignal qui vivait dans une r?gion sauvage, mais qui avait peur de tout. Ses amis profitaient de toutes les occasions pour s'amuser. Pas lui. Pourtant, de temps ? autre, il lui arrivait de se demander s'il ne ratait pas quelque chose. Un beau jour, sur un coup de t?te, l'orignal partit en voilier et se retrouva pris dans un violent orage, en pleine mer. Naufrag?, loin de chez lui, il dut prendre une d?cision: allait-il se rouler en boule et pleurer, ou profiterait-il au maximum de son aventure? From the creator of Big Bear Hug comes the comic-adventure story of a mild-mannered moose who learns how to take life by the antlers. This moose may live in the wild, but he doesn't act it --- he watches from the sidelines as his friends have fun. Every now and then, he wonders if he's missing out on anything. When the moose finally takes a chance and goes on a solo sailing trip, a raging storm carries him far from everything he knows. Will he curl up in a ball and cry, or make the most of it?

Nicholas Oldland est de retour! Cette fois, le castor est en vedette!
C'est dans sa nature. Le castor est toujours tr's occup?, si bien qu'il oublie souvent de r?fl?chir... Il a coup? tant d'arbres que le paysage est d?solant. Plusieurs animaux souffrent parce qu'il n'a pas fait attention... sans compter qu'il y a des fuites dans son barrage. Un jour, le castor est victime d'un accident qu'il a lui-m?me caus? - quoi d'?tonnant? Il r?alise alors ses torts et se r?concilie avec ses amis comme seul un castor peut le faire. 
Original title: Busy Beaver
From the creator of Big Bear Hug (L'ours qui aimait les arbres) and Making the Moose Out of Life (L'orignal qui avait la frousse) comes a new story, featuring the lovable cast of characters including Moose and Bear.
In this beguiling story, Beaver, like most beavers is so busy that he often doesn't think things through.
This careless beaver has made a mess of the forest - half-chewed trees litter the landscape, animals who've suffered because of his inattention to safety limp along, and his own dam leaks. It isn't until Beaver has a tree-felling accident (his own doing, not surprisingly) that he realizes the damage he's caused, and he eagerly "beavers" away to set things right.
Original Title: The Busy Beaver

Les Amis Qui Ne Pensaient Qu'à Gagner (French Edition)

This little frog will hop to anything any time . . . except when it's time for bed! 
A bouncy, hoppy frog, full of irrepressible energy, won't go to sleep. He just wants to jump. And jump and jump and jump. Finally, everyone else goes to sleep but he keep jumping until the sun comes up. The next day, he sleeps through his whole day ― even band practice and a field trip to the zoo. The only time he gets any zip back is at bedtime when his parents tell him to hop into bed. That he does, “with a triple-flip and a double-twist!” 
Perfect for every child who's reluctant at bedtime, with a gentle reminder that rest is needed and a new day awaits. All served with a big dose of humour and joy, and with the distinctive style of acclaimed author and illustrator Nicholas Oldland.
