Playful Prairie Dog introduces children to the life of a prairies dog
"town," where the squirrel-like animals carve out vast systems of
borrows and tunnels in order to raise their families and protect
themselves from predators such as coyotes, badgers, and hawks. The book
describes what prairie dogs eat, how they look after each other, and
their unique "bark" to warn other prairie dogs of danger nearby. Prairie
dogs also often share their burrows with rattlesnakes, spiders, mice,
rabbits, and burrowing owls. The book concludes with a page of prairie
dog "fun facts."
