The beloved, folksy Crinkleroot is an expert at finding animals, and he happily shares his knowledge with readers in this fun-filled exploration of wildlife environments. Crinkleroot and his pet snake Sassafrass introduce the different types of habitats, including wetlands, woodlands, grasslands, drylands, and more. Along the way they also identify over eighty species of animals, challenge readers to find creatures hidden in the illustrations, and give children tips for spotting wildlife in their own neck of the woods. The Crinkleroot character was inspired by nineteenth-century naturalist John Burroughs. His warm, down-to-earth personality makes him a perfect -- and popular -- guide to the natural world. This is the eleventh book in the Crinkleroot series.
