Why is that tree lumpy? How do insects stay alive in the winter? What are tides, anyway? In Be a Wilderness Detective, biologist and artist Peggy Kochanoff answers these and many more questions. With simple language and beautifully accurate paintings, Kochanoff walks young readers through many nature puzzles, including identifying different types of animal scat and understanding how maple trees can be tapped without being harmed. Clear, precise and engaging, Be a Wilderness Detective is the perfect book for budding naturalists--and will also convince couch potatoes to get outside. Science and nature have never been more fun!
