Naptime
Overview: All of the animals in the jungle are grumpy - no, they will not take a nap! But one little girl may know just what to do to make sure these creatures can get some much-needed shut-eye. The crocodile and hippo insist that naps are for babies, the ostrich hides its head in the sand, and the hyena simply laughs at the suggestion. But the cranky expressions on the animals' faces give them away - these grouchy beasts are all in serious need of a nap! Fortunately for these sleepy creatures, a little girl appears who knows the secret to a good snooze: first close one eye, then close the other one. And, just like that, all of the animals are out like a light. It's naptime in the jungle!.

Discovering the iceman: what was it like to find a 5,300-year-old mummy?
The book is divided into three sections, all told in a narrative style. First is the story of his discovery by the hikers, Erika and Helmut Simon. Returning from a climb to the peak of a mountain on the Austrian - Italian border, the Simons detoured from the marked route. Noticing something that resembled a doll, they looked closer and found it was a corpse. Believed at first to be a hiker buried in an avalanche, it was extracted from the ice and removed to the University of Innsbruck where an archaeologist declared it to be from the Bronze Age. Carbon dating revised that estimate to over a thousand years earlier, five centuries before the building of the first pyramids. In spite of the crude way the body and artefacts were collected and the trampling of the site by visitors, the Iceman's fur hat, quiver, shoes (stuffed with grass for warmth), and food pouch (still containing berries) were recovered and continue to provide clues to Stone Age civilization.
