Synopsis
Fur and Feathers is the winner of a Gold Moonbeam Children's Book Award. When Sophia dreams that howling winds whisk the fur and feathers right off her animal friends, she shares some of her clothes with them. But her clothing doesn't work well for the animals. Seeing their disappointment, she offers to sew each one the right coat. Animals line up to explain what they need and why. Polar Bear needs white fur to stay warm and hide in the snow. Fish needs scales, but with slime. Snake needs scales too, but dry ones. And how will Sophia make a prickly coat for Porcupine? The award-winning team of Halfmann and Klein (Little Skink's Tail) reunite to bring animal coverings (and classification) to life in an imaginative way. Sophia's friends include Duck, Fish, Frog, Ladybug, Polar Bear, Porcupine, Snail, and Snake. The For Creative Minds educational section includes: Scientific Classification, Skin Coverings, and Animal Classification. Additional Teaching Activities and Interactive Quizzes are available on the Sylvan Dell Publishing website.

From the Author
Fur and Feathers is a story of creativity, friendship, and animal coverings. I decided to write the story after I noticed on Arbordale Publishing's website that the editor was looking for a story on animal "wraps." Right away, that topic fascinated me. As I brainstormed possibilities, I got the idea to have a storm blow off all of the animals' coverings, and that worked perfectly. I decided it would be fun to dress the "coatless" animals in kid clothes, which I did, but the story needed something more. Then I remembered the big sewing basket filled with odds and ends that I always kept handy for creating or fixing whatever while my kids were growing up. Sophia could find things in the basket and use her creativity to make new coats just right for the animals. As she worked, Sophia (seemingly all on her own) started adding her own special touches, such as the little red heart behind the polar bear's ear. That was one of my favorite parts of writing the story.
