Amazing picture book chock full of information about an animal we hadn’t read much about before. Most pages include a Spanish word in alternative color for emphasis and this was such a fun read!

Thank you for the ARC. I learned several new things today from this book. I didn’t know that a prairie dog was actually a rodent but it’s awfully cute. My son enjoyed the pictures and it was cute how it taught a little Spanish as well. We really enjoyed this book.

This adorably illustrated nonfiction book talks about many facets of a Mexican prairie dog’s life and how it relates to the importance of land conservation. Spanish words are sprinkled in the text; they are highlighted in red to match each word to its shape. A list of Spanish vocabulary is included at the end, along with an Author’s Note with detailed scientific information. A book that is as entertaining as it is informative!
