Kelly befriends a roadrunner that lives on her family's Texas ranch and learns about the bird's keen intelligence and unusual traits, including snake killing. And when Pete and his mate, Ruby, hatch a rare white roadrunner, Kelly finds ways to protect their vulnerable offspring. Marilyn Komechak communicates a wide variety of facts about New Mexico's state bird through a fun story, and Jason C. Eckhardt's classic pen-and-ink illustrations will delight young readers.
