It seems a long time ago that Fitz and Gabby were together, with his work on extinct species about to make him world-famous. Now, it's his career that is almost extinct.

Pinkerton, Behave!
Author: Steven Kellogg
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0451481526
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Pinkerton doesn't understand his owner’s commands. When told to come, he jumps out the window. When asked to fetch, he destroys the slippers instead. Pinkerton’s desperate owners take him to obedience school, but he flunks out in record time. Then one night a burglar breaks into their house, and Pinkerton is able to put his bad habits to good use. This silly charmer of a story was included on the Booklist and Horn Book best of the year lists and inspired four sequels about the impossibly clueless but irresistibly sweet Pinkerton. Now, in honor of its 35th anniversary, Steven Kellogg has updated the art and text (most notably removing the gun that appeared in the original edition), and has written an introductory note about the book’s history.

Observations on the Birds of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile

ISBN:
Category : Science

Pages : 674
Book Description
The successful operation of the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty in according protection, hitherto uncertain, to migratory game and insectivorous birds, with resultant increase in many species, leads naturally to inquiries regarding the present status of birds that migrate in winter beyond our borders. Since observation of shore birds was the main point in mind, travel was restricted largely to the level sections where suitable shores and marshes were available, so that collections were made in the main in the lowlands.
