The Great Northwest Factbook,
By Ellen Punyon (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Northwest Nature Factbook: A Guide to the Region's Animals, Plants, & Natural Resources (Paperback)
What a fun book! It's easy to read and informative. The descriptive language encourages you to visualize each entry. I plan to use it to encourage research at my elementary school with this book. Students studying Washington State, and environmental education will find this resource very helpful.
