Synopsis
Simple text and photographs introduce coyotes and their grasslands habitat.
Julia Beiker - Children's Literature
This fearsome creature has piercing yellow eyes that can make someone feel uneasy and intimidated enough to want to run. It has the look of a dog, but appears too sinewy and cautious to belong any where but the wild. It has been known to howl at the wind and to live in packs. In the "Pebble Book Series" on Grassland Animals is where a reader can find this book and learn more about these fascinating animals. On page 10, a map shows the territory where coyotes roam the grasslands of North and Central America. Exciting and invigorating photographs takes the reader even further, showing their young and their prey.

At the back, utilize the glossary to find out the meaning of words like litter and the word list/index where words can be found in a snap. Three other books on coyotes can also be located in the back. A cool service offer is the fact hound where the reader clicks and learns even more about coyotes and other animals. This reference book will add information and fun to any household, so do not pass it up at any cost. 2004, Capstone Stone Press, Ages 5 to 8.
