Rowan is a little on again, off again with this one. Currently, we're on. It's a lovely little book; simple in basic form and premise. I like that it has the more specific name for these critters--pallid bats, stellar's jay--to give kids a stretch. The illustrations are lovely and clear enough that you can also easily simplify the names for kids still figuring out words and identification (Rowan still likes saying "jay bird!"). A solid nature primer for your aspiring little desert rat.

Like the nature walk theme and the specific animal names and images. Could go for a beginning and an end just to mix it up a little or give it a little oomph. We’ll enjoy it anyways without those pieces. Sweet gift from our friend Tara.

Treasure from a Little Free Library. "Do you see what I see? Javelina and baby running from me." ".... Western spotted skunk hiding from me." Gorgeous illustrations of the different critters. Most, admittedly, one would only see in a book as they're too secretive to be seen irl. Perfect for residents, in prep for a visit, and as a souvenir. (And grand for everyone else, too, imo.) I would love to see more in the series or by the creator.
