Through playful rhyme and vibrant art, learn how these small creatures shape the world around them, planting trees, raising young, and adapting to a changing planet. Filled with fascinating facts and joyful energy, this book celebrates one of nature’s most spirited survivors.

Can You Read Nature? Guides are designed for the entire family. From curious 5-year-olds on their first hike to grandparents rediscovering the natural world, our guides will enhance their every experience. Read before you go, see ten times more when you are there. Museum-quality Illustrations by professional artists make every page worth lingering over, the young attracted by the bright colors, the experienced drawn to the incredible detail in the artwork.
Books in the Junior Adventurer series are crafted for early readers and young explorers, with reading and science levels perfect for ages 5–10 and clearly marked on the cover. All other guides are written for families, hiking buddies, and nature lovers of any age, layered so that children grow into them and adults never outgrow them.
