Synopsis

Watch where you step! Sometimes the animals that live in Yellowstone National Park are hard to find--but you can always find their poop!

Come along with Michael, Emily, and their family as they learn about the animals in the park from their scats (poop) and tracks (footprints). This delightfully illustrated children's book follows Michael--who is afraid of bears--and his family as they encounter signs of bison, moose, elk, deer, rabbits, wolves, mountain lions, badgers, and more.

The book also includes a handy reference chart with silhouettes, tracks, scats, and comments for all of the animals.

Author Gary D. Robson and illustrator Elijah Brady Clark have also produced "Who Pooped in the Park?" editions for Glacier National Park and Grand Teton National Park, and more will be coming out in 2005.

Pick up your copy of this unique guide to scats and tracks for kids and find out "who pooped"!

About this title

From the Author:

Sure, there are plenty of other books about scats and tracks. My goal was to make one that was fun for kids. They'll enjoy reading about Michael and Emily's vacation and get all kinds of fascinating trivia from the "Straight Poop" sidebars scattered throughout the book, and they'll learn while they do it! Eli and I did our best to make it fun, and the team of rangers and naturalists that proofread the book kept it accurate. If your children ever wondered what critter left that pile of droppings, then they need a copy of "Who Pooped in the Park?"
