About the author
David M. Schwartz
87 books28 followers As a child, I was filled with a sense of awe as I contemplated the universe. The huge numbers of stars and their sizes and distances never failed to amaze me. With binoculars and magnifying glass, I also focused on closer subjects like birds, flowers, frogs and bugs.
But science and math weren't my only fascinations: I also loved bicycles, baseball, boats…and ice cream. Years later, on a clear spring night, I looked up at the sky and a shower of memories descended. I suddenly remembered my childhood awe at the wonders of space.
That night I was inspired to write my first book, How Much Is a Million? Now, almost 50 books later, I spend much of my time finding unusual, whimsical ways to make math and science come alive for kids and teachers, both through my writing, and through speaking at schools and conferences. I also write science articles for magazines, especially Smithsonian, and to do the research I've made exciting trips to some of the more remote corners of several continents. I've been to Africa to study hippos, to South America to visit an indigenous tribe living in the rain forest, and to far northern Scotland to track illegal egg collectors. But I still love the land outside my door in northern California, and the same distant stars that inspired me years ago.

October 18, 2022Read all about Horses! this book is one for horse lovers. The book starts off with a female horse, or mare that is pregnant and was bred to a stallion (male horse). The book then goes to once the foal is born, and goes through all that happens when it starts to grow up. within the first day of life a foal will go out with its mother and tries to use their legs to walk, run and buck, it is quite hard though. Next, it informs us on how a foal will eat. the foals drink their mother's milk which is full of nutrients. After a few days the foals legs begin to get stronger and stronger.
