(2) K-3 Bowen's enthusiasm for the wild world around her energizes the one-page description of each of thirteen animals found in the northwoods of Minnesota. Quotes about nature from various well-known Native American leaders accompany the text; lovingly executed, hand-colored woodblock prints capture the graceful lines of each animal's body and habitat. A perfect book for sharing before and after a hike in the woods.
