Illustrated by

Modeled on "Over in the Meadow," this rhyming verse introduces prairie wildlife, covering animals such as pronghorn, rattlesnake, and sharp-tailed grouse. Valuable back matter expands information about flora and fauna, carefully separating fact from fiction by pointing out which species of animals do not care for their young. Though busy, the mixed-media art provides a good sense of prairie ecology.
