Synopsis
These are the latest titles in this popular series that introduces children to North American wildlife through color photographs and fascinating text. Young readers will be enchanted by America's smallest bird, the fearless hummingbird. Its resting heart rate is an astonishing 480 beats per minute and, unlike any other bird, it can fly backwards.
Few animals capture the imagination like wild horses. There are nearly 50,000 wild horses still roaming western North America. This book reveals their origins, their complex family systems, and how they live together off the land.
Synopsis
Rabbits and hares may seem like cute and fluffy animals in storybooks, but they are amazing creatures. Did you know: Rabbits may play dead to fool animals that are chasing them? A mother rabbit can have up to twelve babies at once? A racing snowshoe hare could jump the length of two beds end to end?
All of this information and more can be found in this exciting book.
