An injured and hungry lion is swept away in a flash flood in the desert. A herd of buffalo senses the danger of an approaching tornado in the prairie. I hope the kids like these beautifully written books that are full of great information about habitats and food chains.
Update: My fifth graders did like these books, and there's a whole series of them that the school has some copies of. Shockingly, some of my most reluctant readers loved these stories. Probably for their familiar, predictable format, but I don't care....they're learning about story structure and plot development, mixed in with a little science content.....it's all good!
