About Can You Dig It?
Excerpt:
Your granny's teeth; your dad's toupèe;
Your lunch might be unearthed one day
Three hundred million years from now
And folks will gasp and wonder how
It was we all managed to live
When life was so darned primitive.

About Flying Lessons:
The pigeons are a tight bunch. They flock together, nest together, and sing together. In the winter they travel south, in the spring they return north. This is the way it has always been and the birds see no reason for things to change. Then one day a new bird flies on the scene. Suddenly their comforting routine is completely disrupted. In order to adjust to the change, the pigeons must learn a new way to fly...
