Awooo! A howl cuts through the twilight and echoes for miles. A pair of golden eyes flash in the fading light. It's a coyote, and the whole pack is about to answer back!
Coyotes are North America's ultimate survivors. These crafty hunters can sprint 43 miles per hour, live everywhere from scorching deserts to downtown New York City, and are smart enough to team up with badgers to catch prey underground.
"The Nature Kid's Guide to Coyotes" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know how these clever canines thrive everywhere from scorching deserts to Central Park in New York City. How do they leap high in the air and dive nose-first to catch mice hiding under snow? Why do they take turns chasing deer until it drops? And how did they spread to all 49 mainland U.S. states?
Short sentences and jaw-dropping facts fill every page. Your child will discover that coyotes can smell prey from two miles away, swim half a mile across a lake, and catch fish right out of a stream with their teeth. They'll learn how pups practice hunting by pouncing on bugs, how older siblings babysit while parents hunt, and how coyote pairs sometimes stay together for life.
A book for kids who love clever hunters and the wild places (and city parks) they call home.
Sharp ears, fast feet, and a whole book full of wild facts your child will want to share.
The Nature Kid's Guide series makes learning about nature an adventure, one animal at a time.
