Description
With the national forest as a backdrop, one of its important creatures, the Arizona Black Rattlesnake narrates many short stories about the surprising and creative interaction between wild animals who call this place home and humans who are only visitors. This humorous, action-packed, and wonderfully informative, this science and nature book brings adventure to young readers. Captivatingly illustrated by a fisheries biologist, discover what happens when a skunk meets Mom in the shed and when the mountain lion lands on the family car.
A full compilation of detailed animal descriptions, taxonomy charts, suggested resources for further exploration, plus questions and projects to expand the learning makes this book valuable for classroom, library and homeschool. It teaches respect for life and that all creatures have a place in the tapestry of life. A great stepping off point for discussion about how we treat the world around us.
