Who Pooped in the Park? Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Description
Who Pooped in the Park? Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an educational children's book by Steve Kemp that takes young readers on an engaging journey through the Great Smoky Mountains. The book is designed to teach children about the wildlife in the park by exploring the different types of scat (poop) that animals leave behind. Through colorful illustrations and a fun narrative, readers follow a family as they hike through the park, encountering various animal droppings along the way. The book provides clues about which animals are responsible for the scat and offers insights into their diets and behaviors. This interactive approach encourages children to learn about nature and wildlife tracking in a playful and memorable way. This charming tale of Michael, Emily, and their parents as they explore each national park and discover scat and tracks is designed to both entertain and educate. Wildlife can be elusive, and both kids are disappointed when, at first, they dont encounter many animals in the park. The kids quickly learn, however, that there are animals all around, and these creatures leave behind scat and tracks. Before long, the kids are able to identify animal tracks and determine what a creature has eaten recently. Colorful illustrations of animals and their scat and tracks supplement this lively tale, and a quick-reference chart at the back will make field identification a breeze!
