Praise for Wild Birds Across the Prairies
Wild Birds is beautifully designed, with Lynch’s trademark photos gracing every page. As usual, the attention to lighting, colour, composition and focus is flawless and the avian poses are varied. It’s hard to fathom the patience required for these shots.

SCOOP ON POOP

The Scoop on Poop (32 pages, 50 colour photographs, for children ages 8-12) explores the fascinating science of how animals use poop to build homes, attract partners, send messages, cool off and much more. I wrote this book in 2001 on a dare from my publisher and it has become my best-selling book of all time. Total sales may soon outnumber all my other books combined! The Scoop on Poop is currently a popular museum exhibit circulating through the United States.

Praise for the book:

This is a great book. Lynch introduces readers to the science of scat, the purpose of poop, and the meaning of manure...This is a lively, funny, factual presentation. Clear color photographs abound on every page. It is that rare and delightful mix that could serve equally well for classroom support or for recreational reading. Lynch’s style is clear, light, and conveys lots of information, almost on the sly. His sense of humour is pervasive, and he includes several personal anecdotes. It’s the kind of learning where readers think they’re just having fun. Highly recommended.
