The Nature Kid's Guide to Prairie Dogs: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Prairie Dogs! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181697)

If your child loves social, chatty animals, prairie dogs are nature's best neighbors. These tiny diggers build underground towns with bedrooms, bathrooms, and listening posts, and they speak a language so detailed they can describe whether a nearby human is tall or short.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Prairie Dogs" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know how these little animals build such big communities. How did one Texas colony grow to 400 million prairie dogs? Why do they touch noses to say hello? And how do their alarm calls change depending on which predator is coming?

Short sentences and jaw-dropping facts fill every page. Your child will discover that prairie dogs move 400 pounds of dirt to build a single burrow, run 35 miles per hour to escape danger, and get all their water from plants. They'll learn how pups are born weighing less than a slice of bread, how golden eagles can spot them from over a mile away, and how families take turns standing guard so others can eat.

A book for kids who love clever animals and the bustling underground cities they call home.

Hundreds of neighbors. Miles of tunnels. A whole book full of amazing secrets your child will want to share.

The Nature Kid's Guide series makes learning about nature an adventure, one animal at a time.
