During the time of Aristotle (384–322 BCE), ancient Greece flourished in philosophy, culture, art, and architecture. Greece was then the keystone of cultural influence and power of Western civilization, which was centered in Athens, the Greek capital. \tIn 345 BCE, Aristotle left Plato’s Academy in Athens to go to Lesbos, an island in the Aegean Sea. Lesbos was on the eastern edge of Athens’s circle of influence. The island allowed Aristotle more freedom to engage in personal research and pursue his passion: the science of nature. He spent considerable time mainly around the area known as the lagoon, or today, the Bay of Kalloni, perhaps near the town of Pyrrha. Aristotle recorded his observations in ten books as the History of Animals. Translated over the centuries, his writings, whether accurate or not by today’s standards, have propelled many scientists to consider him to be the father of the modern-day sciences: biology and zoology. \t \tYoung readers of Mr. Robert’s Lagoon will discover some of the wildlife Aristotle encountered on a purported trek to the lagoon as illustrated in ancient fresco wall murals. His translated writings appear in quotes isolated on the wall foundations. \tThe goal of Wilderness Habitat Discovery Journals is to introduce young readers to unusual wildlife habitats through the weaving history and physical and natural science into a story line. As a reading comprehension aid, ClueQ (CQ) is an added challenge that utilizes the story’s text, which contains clues, to help young readers answer a question about some of the wildlife in this intriguing habitat. Adults are encouraged to read and look for the clues in the story with their children. CQ answers and vocabulary appear in the back.
