Editorial Review:

Product Description:


Does a cat use his claws when he walks?How does a rabbit run? What does a skunk smell like? Find out the answers in this classic text that teaches young readers how to track animals by finding footprints and other clues. Marlene Donnellys lovely illustrations and Millicent Selsams gentle text make this a perfect first book for children with a budding interest in animals and nature. Included is a new Find Out More page with lots of hands-on activities.






Rating: - Great for Kids
Got this for my 7 year old daughter before we went on a trip to Yellowstone. She loved the pictures and turned out to be pretty darned good a spotting and identifying many of the tracks from it. Great little book...was her favorite of several that I got for us.

Rating: - Does Nancy Drew know about this?
Big Tracks, Little Tracks is a beautifully illustrated book for young "nature detectives." All animals leave different tracks and if you know just how to study them, you will find out how they walked, what or how they ate and sometimes even what way the wind was blowing as they walked!

A fun activity page explains how to do an experiment with leaving tracks of your own and making plaster casts of tracks that you find. Fun read!

Rating: - Fantastic book, best nature book we own
This book is written in a style that promotes problem solving and develops inquiry skills. It is a wonderful introduction to animal tracks. After a child reads this book they will be able to differentiate between several common tracks and have an understanding of how to interpret tracks to understand the behavior of the animal that made them. I highly recommend this book to teachers, families...

Rating: - Keeping Children on the Right Track
The book is a great way to get children involved in their reading. The questions in the book encourage reflection and help children make predictions about what they are reading. The concepts can be applied to anywhere in nature, and are appropriate for all children no matter where they live. The book gives important facts and information, but also allows children to become "detectives" and take an active role in the book. It is great for science discovery with young children!
