An excellent introduction to the varied and remarkable ways animal fathers care for their young. In the vast animal kingdom, mommies are often solely responsible for the birth and upbringing of their young. But daddies can, and do, help in a variety of surprising ways. In this new natural science book for children, award-winning writer Mary Batten offers a fascinating and entertaining look at paternal behavior in the animal world. From birds and amphibians to small mammals and primates, numerous examples of males caring for their young are presented in accurate and clear language. Among the featured fathers are the blue jay, the marmoset and the beaver, who share parenting responsibilities with the mother, as well as several animal daddies (such as the seahorse, the penguin, and Darwin's frog) that perform more extraordinary roles. Finally, the human father is singled out for devoting the most time of all to raising his young until they can survive on their own. Factual information on animal development and behavior is provided throughout the text. Higgins Bond's realistic and detailed illustrations accurately depict the animal families in their natural habitats, and warmly bring to life the animal daddies interacting with their babies.

There is hope for every relationship! In His Word, God gives clear directions, detailed word pictures and excellent examples of how to strengthen and reconcile relationships. There are instructions on how to fix relationships that were put together wrong, or have become unstable over time. The purpose of this book is to explore the Manufacturer's Handbook (the Bible) and discover what it says about how our thoughts, words and actions affect our relationships. We will learn that the key to reconciling relationships is nothing less than imitating God, and we will survey practical ways to do just that. Mik Chester is pastor at Mitchell Park Christian Church in St. Joseph, MO, and lives with his family in nearby Andrew County. His broad background includes a B.A. from Miami University (Ohio), and an M.S. from the University of Toledo. He also is a graduate of the Grace School of Ministry, Tulsa, OK and the Law Enforcement Academy at Missouri Western State University. Mik has over 20 years in ministry including 15 years as Lead Pastor. His casual style makes everyone comfortable digging deep into the Word of God. His experience in business, teaching, and time as a police officer, blended with a love for the Word of God gives him a down-to-earth practical approach to ministry and counseling.
