Filled cover to cover with stunningly beautiful color photographs, A Child's View of a Prairie is a softcover children's picturebook that shows young people a dazzling array of the plants and insects that can be found in a native Wisconsin prairie. Two children talk to one another as they explore the prairie, and narration outside of their dialogue teaches young readers amazing facts about the prairie's living creatures. "'Let's touch the leaves. The leaves feel smooth on the front but rough on the back. Why do the leaves feel cold?' 'Mike, Mom says that it is because the tap root goes deep in the ground and brings up cold water to the leaves.'" A wonderfully educational picturebook, highly recommended.
