This popular series--extended to include more Spanish-language titles--travels the planet to study these and other fascinating mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates. Beautiful photos are paired with STEM-appropriate text to examine the featured creature's appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each book also presents a folk story that people have used to help explain the animal's appearance or behavior. A basic exploration of the appearance, behavior, and habitat of prairie dogs, the small rodents of North America's Great Plains. Also included is a story from folklore explaining why prairie dogs hide from coyotes.
