      Book Overview

      The North American Prairie stretches from Alberta and Saskatchewan south to Texas, and from the edge of the Rockies east to Illinois. In the same vein as its predecessor about the North Atlantic Coast, this book gathers the literature of the North American Prairie as a way to introduce young readers to the region's natural heritage. Herein readers will enjoy songs and narratives of Plains Indians, tales of 19th-century settlers, and contemporary essays and poems. This description may be from another edition of this product.

      Great for the classroom

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This book is great for the classroom when covering either prairie ecosystems or demonstrating how different styles of writing can relate to one topic. Great stories for kids. I also use these stories when I am at the prairie preserve with a class.

      A rich blend of generations of voices and stories

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      These stories of the North American prairie lands provide a rich blend of generations of voices and stories of natural history and the land, blending poems, stories and essays with insights on both native peoples, geography and wildlife. The result is a multi-faceted collection which doesn't neatly fit into singular categories of natural history, geography or culture; but which embraces them all.
