Book Guide

How would you like to hear a cheering song from a meadow lark, feast your eyes on a green field of tall, waving grass -- and sniff the soft, sweet fragrance of blossoming clover? You can, in a meadow! You can find all kinds of animals too. Some of the animals dig in the ground. Some creep or crawl over it. Some of the animals live in the water, while others live on the water. Some climb trees and some fly through the air. To all of them, the meadow is home.

Come along with Dr. Blough and explore the meadow. He will show you where to find rabbits, snakes, ants, woodchucks, worms, woodpeckers, crayfish -- and even the blue heron. And he will explain how they hunt and eat, care for their families, and protect themselves from their natural enemies.

Jeanne Bendick's colorful, accurate pictures make it possible to recognize the meadow's inhabitants and to understand why they are so well suited to the environment.
