Whose Tracks Are These?: A Clue Book of Familiar Forest Animals

My son and I love this book! The illustrations are beautiful and wonderfully detailed. This book is on regular rotation in our Bedtime story book collection. Wish there were more books from Mr. Nail!

This was an excellent book! The illustrations are bright and beautiful coupled with a magnificant story. Each set of footprints are shown in their natural environment and they are accompanied by a full page of clues that start hard and get easier before you are shown the animal that the clues are about. Here is an example. "I need to run fast because many animals hunt my kind. I will zig-zag to make it hard to catch me, then dash into the bushes to escape". Then there are more clues until finally the last clue is "My white, puffy tail is another clue to who I am." Of course by reading the clues you start to figure out by this time that you are talking about a Rabbit. This book really helped me to understand more about the eco-system I am surrounded by. When we go outside I am more observant and can even share show some of the tracks I learned to my sisters, Merlyn and Shirley. Be sure to get this book!
