Restructured from Dr. Frank C. Craighead's popular book, For Everything There Is a Season, Bugling Elk and Sleeping Grizzlies illuminates the natural seasonal world of Yellowstone-Grand Teton National Parks. With text and numerous color photographs woven into a month by month timeline, park visitors will learn the activities and stages of the flora and fauna in the parks. Author Shirley A. Craighead, a naturalist in her own right, presents this nature calendar for young readers (ages 8 to 12), showing the most visible species as well as the most curious and hidden. Readers will learn what to look for when and how to know what is going on behind the scenes.

Review
Review posted on Amazon.com for trade paper title For Everything There Is a Season:
"For anyone who's in love with the land of the Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, Craighead's book is required reading. What a joy to follow the changes of the seasons and the cycle of birth and migration of the area's animals with this knowledgeable man as a guide! Craighead focuses on weekly changes in climate and life, and each week is brimming with details of flora and fauna. I am constantly learning about my home, but this book isn't just for Jackson Hole dwellers - there are vivid photos on every page and extensive appendices for birders and amateur ecologists, as well as mammoth additional reading lists and a detailed index."
