The Cascade Range stretches over 700 miles from northern California to British Columbia. The mountain range is full of wildlife and volcanoes to explore, but watch where you step! The animals that live there are often hard to find but not their poop! Join Emily, Michael, May, and their parents as they examine poop (scat) and footprints (tracks) to find out who pooped in the Cascades. By examining signs left by animals, the kids learn about animal behavior, diet, and identification. Who Pooped in the Cascades? is the perfect backpack companion for your trip to any part of the Cascades. Fun illustrations of the animals and their scat and tracks supplement the charming story, and a quick-reference chart at the back makes field identification a breeze!
Gary Robson never decided what he wants to be when (if?) he grows up. In addition to being a successful author with 750,000 copies of his books sold, he’s been a software engineer, microelectronics designer, adjunct college professor, curriculum designer, and voice actor. He has owned a bookstore, a tea & game shop, and a small-town newspaper. Most recently, he was executive director of a wildlife sanctuary.
Along the way, he became an expert in closed captioning technology for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, which resulted in three books, three U.S. patents, and a TEDx talk.
Throughout all of life’s journeys, one thing remained constant for Gary: writing. Dozens of books, hundreds of articles, and a handful of technical manuals. Most was nonfiction, until he tried writing children’s books. His Who Pooped in the Park series of animal scat & track books for kids are his best-known and best-selling books.
At last, Gary is semi-retired. The kids are on their own, so it’s just him, his wife, two dogs, and two cats. Settled in a small town near Yellowstone Park, surrounded by lots of books and really good tea, he finally has time to write what he loves to read: fantasy!
His latest book is The Bounds of Magic, book 1 in the Tryllevær Saga, and there’s more to come!
