The Nature Kid's Guide to Elk: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Elk! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181475)

Bugle! A deep call rises, then screams high, then drops into grunts. The sound echoes across the mountain meadow for two miles. It's an elk!

If your child has ever seen photos of these giant deer or heard their strange, haunting call, this book takes them deep into elk country. Elk are one of the largest deer in the world, standing as tall as many adult humans and carrying antlers that weigh as much as a medium-sized dog.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Elk" is written for curious kids ages 7-12 who want to understand these impressive animals. Why do bull elk barely eat or sleep for weeks during mating season? How can their antlers grow an inch per day? What makes their bugle sound so different from any other animal? Your child will uncover the answers and want to share them at dinner.

Short sentences and surprising facts fill every page. Your child will discover elk that can smell a wolf from a mile away, calves that lose their camouflage spots by summer's end, and herds that can flee from danger in just two seconds flat.

A book for kids who love big animals and wild mountain places.

Elk can run 45 miles per hour, jump 8 feet high, and travel 50 miles in a single day. Mothers recognize their own calf's cry among hundreds of others. From nearly disappearing in 1900 to one million strong today, elk prove that protecting wildlife works.

Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kids Guide series. Your child's next favorite animal is waiting.
