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 poop 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 it will also
convince couch potatoes to get outside. Science and nature have never
been more fun!
