Wild Tracks – A Guide to Nature’s Footprints

By Jim Arnosky

Many wild animals are shy and illusive. They are hard to spot and even harder to identify. Anyone who has ever gone on a walk in the park, or woods after a snowfall can attest to the existence of many animals of all shapes and sizes. How do we know animals have been frolicking all over the woods? We look at their calling cards, their footprints in the snow and the mud.  Jim Arnosky has written a great informative guide for kids on how to identify the tracks of most commonly known animals in North America.

Your young naturalist will love the full-page fold out life-sized prints of deer, mice, wolves, skunk, muskrat, otter, and numerous other animal tracks. There are helpful hints about how to tell whether an animal is running, jumping, walking or foraging. This book will open your child’s eyes to the hidden world of animal behavior and existence all around us. Wild Tracks is Jim’s 100^th children’s book. He has received numerous awards for his writing and educating of children and holds the coveted lifetime achievement award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Washington Post.
