Summary: Welcome to the Badlands National Park, where baby critters and their mothers happily wallow, run, call, bark, hop, scurry, nod, slither, howl, and jump in the prairie all day long and through the night.

 

From mammals and birds to insects and reptiles, learn about the animals that inhabit this semiarid environment.

 

Count animals from one to ten in the rhyming text modeled after the traditional song "Over in the Meadow" by Olive A. Wadsworth.

 

The last ten pages are a very colorful and handy guide to the animals and plant life you find.
