Children's Literature -
By studying animal tracks, young nature detectives gather clues and answer the questions: "What animal walked here?" "Where did it go?" "What did it do?" And, "What did it eat?" They learn to tell the difference between dog and cat footprints and are challenged to discover who drank the milk in the cat's bowl and who ate the food in the dog's dish. Obvious answers are not always correct. Footprints in the snow reveal a rabbit's narrow escape from a fox; gull toe prints in the sand tell which way the wind was blowing. The detectives discover that a bullfrog sitting at a river's edge and a snake slithering into the water leave distinctive prints on the muddy bank. Who left the empty crayfish shells in a little pile? The raccoon did. Skillfully, the author draws the reader into the guessing game, and the reader becomes a nature detective, too. 1995 (orig.Book Details
