Hey kids! It's hard to pick just one favorite book, isn't it? Kind of like potato chips (you can't eat just one.) But do it anyway! Maybe you'll be featured in the July issue of Neapolitan Family magazine!

New contest! Send us a photo of your child with their favorite book and their statement about why they love the book. We will feature as many as we can in our July issue of Neapolitan Family, and one entrant will win a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble. Enter at https://neafamily.com/contests/current-contest_1

Hey Kids, can you believe this? It's not a cartoon! Your Adventurer in Chief had to look it up and it's true - Scallops really do chatter. I guess they don't like being out of the water in the cold, do they?

Nose boop from Dee Gee the giant anteater! 😍

Did you know? A giant anteater's sense of smell is 40 times more powerful than ours.

Now, this is just too cute! We've seen ballet dancers in our orchids and warrior faces on our spiders but the underbelly of a baby stingray? Who knew?

The underbelly of a baby stingray. Who knew that these sea creatures could have such amusing looking faces? 😃

Stingrays are a group of sea rays, which are cartilaginous fish related to sharks. Their mouth and gills are located on the ventral side of their body while their eyes are found on the dorsal (top) side. They also have spiracles just behind their eyes, which are small openings that allow some fish and amphibians to breathe. Stingrays cannot see their prey after capture, so instead they make use of smell and electroreceptors to detect the bioelectric fields of the sea creatures around them. These electroreceptors are a network of special sensory organs called ampullae of Lorenzini, which are actually small, fluid-filled electrical receptors situated near the stingray's mouth and look like tiny black holes in the animal's skin.

As Child Abuse Prevention Month comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who has supported us through Pinwheels @ the Pier and through donations this April. We also wanted to share with you another way you can help! We are in need of new and gently used stuffed animals to give out to the children we serve. This is an easy way to bring a smile to a child's face.

You can drop off stuffed animals at our office from 9am-4pm, Monday- Friday at 1036 Sixth Ave N, Naples FL, 34102.

Thank You!
