Reviews
Grade 3-5-- Arnosky has revised his Crinkleroot's Book of Animal Tracks and Wildlife Signs (Putnam, 1979; o.p.) in a slightly larger format, with revised text. Crinkleroot--a curious old codger with a long white beard and hiking stick--provides young readers with clear, accurate information on some habits of wildlife common to the northeastern United States. His short discourses are accompanied by precisely-drawn illustrations showing the tracks of each animal or bird. Each creature's habitats and unusual habits are included, as well. The text in this new edition has been somewhat condensed, and, in the process, some interesting material has been removed (i.e., the otter's diet). The inclusion of a table of contents, an index, and numbered pages, however, makes the revision more accessible. The illustrations, except for the one on the cover, are unchanged, but some have been colored (the original was illustrated in black line tinted with gray and brown). In several illustrations in which a blue tint is used to highlight various black-line tracks in snow scenes, the printing of the color is a bit off, making recognition of the tracks more difficult than in the black-line originals. In short, this attractive new edition, although a worthy addition to most collections, need not replace the earlier one. Other books on animal tracking are Millicent Selsam's How to Be a Nature Detective (Harper, 1966), a brief introduction to tracking aimed at a younger audience, and David Webster's Track Watching (Watts, 1972; o.p.) for upper grade readers. --Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, Ohio
