American Animals: Set 1
A whole host of interesting animals calls North America home including the majestic bald eagle, the iconic mustang, and the massive moose. Readers will learn what a prairie dog town is, how mustangs ended up in the American West, and the story of how bison populations rebounded after nearly being wiped out in the nineteenth century. Each fascinating volume includes a two-page spread that features interesting facts about the animal in question. Glossaries of pertinent terms and a website page that links readers to more information about each animal will help them get the most out of this series.
