The Nature Kid's Guide to Squirrels: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Squirrels! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181741)

Most kids see squirrels every single day without knowing how remarkable they really are. These little animals can smell a nut buried under a foot of snow, survive a 30-foot fall without a scratch, and outsmart predators with a tail that doubles as an umbrella, a decoy, and a blanket.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Squirrels" takes children ages 7-12 deep into the world of one of nature's cleverest survivors. Written for Level 2 readers in short, confidence-building sentences, this book explores how squirrels leap ten times their own body length, use stomping feet to send warnings other squirrels can feel through the ground, and how flying squirrels (who don't actually fly) glide over 150 feet through the night sky on flaps of skin stretched like tiny kites.

The backyard animal your child never knew was this amazing.

Your child will discover how a squirrel's four front teeth never stop growing, why mother squirrels sometimes adopt lost babies from other families, and how a single alarm call sends every squirrel in the area sprinting for cover. There are over 200 kinds of squirrels in the world, and every one of them has a story worth knowing.

Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kid's Guide series. This bushy-tailed survivor is ready to be their next favorite.
