Armchair travel was never so much fun. Travel all over the States and discover the diversity of American wildlife, from Arctic wolves and snowshoe hares of the Alaskan Peninsula’s Katmai National Park to the bald eagles and great blue herons of the Western Maine mountains. Full-color illustrations and photos pair with informative text and fun facts; labeled drawings help readers identify flora and fauna in each region, and close-up areas of the U.S. map help place readers geographic areas of the U.S. Travelers and nature lovers will love the facts boxes that tell them what to find, hear, discover, and spot. Organized into five areas – The West and Alaska; The South; Midwest; Northeast, and Wild Animals in Your Backyard – Explore! provides an overview of the area and and illustrations on the region of the U.S. map. Fully indexed, this is an excellent companion to Explore! America’s National Parks (2011) and will be a welcome addition to natural resource collections.
Explore! America’s Wildlife has a starred review from School Library Journal.
