Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3. The wise, funny, and forever endearing Crinkleroot, "explorer and wildlife finder," provides yet another guided tour through nature. In his "old jalopy" with his canoe attached and his benevolent snake in tow, he takes readers through various animal habitats. The trip begins in the wetlands, with a cross-sectioned view and an introduction to many of the species that live there. The difference between a swamp, a bog, and a marsh is clarified. Next comes a visit to a woodland, where a double-page spread invites children to find the 24 animals, including birds, squirrels, bats, and insects. Crinkleroot passes through a farmer's cornfield, the grasslands, and into the drylands to introduce succulent plants and unusual critters such as the roadrunner and the collared lizard. Crammed full of information and delightfully presented with appealing watercolor illustrations, the book provides another extremely useful lesson on nature and appreciating the natural world.?Helen Rosenberg, St. Scholastica High School, Chicago, IL

From Booklist
Ages 4-9. In his usual chatty storytelling style, the folksy woodsman Crinkleroot introduces children to the natural places where wild animals live. Arnosky's informal double-page watercolors show the cheerful, bearded explorer finding all kinds of wildlife in wetlands, woodlands, grasslands, and cornfields. The facts are accurate, and the attractive pictures are clearly labeled; together, they will encourage children to find the wildlife on these pages and to look closely at where animals live in the world outside.
