(2) K-3 Illustrated by Patrick Benson. Large snow leopard tracks on the endpapers lead readers to join the narrator on a Himalayan trek in hopes of spotting this elusive animal. Shortly, readers do indeed see the snow leopard--first as a solitary animal, with features such as coat, paws, and behaviors noted; when her cub joins her, we learn about the lives of young snow leopards. Soft watercolors, predominantly in shades of tan and white, underscore the animal's natural camouflage and the stark mountainous setting. An author's note discusses conservation efforts. Ind.
