Summary

Why do a tree's leaves change color in autumn? How can mushrooms suddenly appear overnight? What made those tracks in the snow? "You Can Be a Nature Detective" helps you delve into these and other intriguing mysteries of the natural world. With the goal of getting kids outside exploring, author Peggy Kochanoff uses breathtaking watercolors and informative text to spark readers' interest in investigating the wonders of Mother Nature. Learn which moth or butterfly that caterpillar will turn into. Use clues left behind on the bark of trees to figure out what animal has been there. Study tiny holes in the ground to discover which creatures have been burrowing in the soil. Part field guide and part whodunit, "You Can Be a Nature Detective "has something for naturalists of all ages.

Author Biography

Peggy Kochanoff graduated from Cornell University with a degree in vertebrate zoology and spent a summer working at the Central Park Zoo in New York City. Eventually she settled with her husband and two sons on a tree farm in Nova Scotia, Canada. It was a perfect place to combine her love of nature with art, and she went on to do animal and nature illustrations for numerous clients. This is her third book for Mountain Press. She also illustrated There's a Beagle in My Bed, featuring her granddaughter and written by her eldest son. Peggy is delighted to be teaching her granddaughter to be a nature detective, too.
