The Nature Kid's Guide to Bison: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Bison! - Paperback

by David Anderson (Author)

Rumble! The ground shakes. Thunder? No, hundreds of hooves pounding across the prairie. A cloud of dust rises. A massive herd appears. It's bison!

If your child has ever seen pictures of the Old West or wondered what the biggest land animal in North America looks like up close, this book brings the thunder. Bison once roamed in herds so large they stretched for 25 miles. They nearly disappeared forever, but people worked together to bring them back.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Bison" is written for curious kids ages 7-12 who want to understand these powerful giants. How can a 2,000-pound animal run faster than a horse? Why do calves have bright orange fur that turns brown? What's that huge hump on their shoulders actually made of? Your child will uncover the answers and want to share them at dinner.

Every page delivers facts that stick: bison bellowing loud enough to be heard three miles away, mothers forming protective circles around their babies, and herds following the same paths their ancestors walked for thousands of years. The simple sentences and short chapters make reading feel manageable, while the incredible comeback story keeps kids engaged all the way through.

A book for kids who love big animals and true stories of survival.

Bison can jump six-foot fences, smell storms coming from miles away, and swing their 50-pound heads to clear snow and find grass. Baby "red dogs" can run with the herd just hours after birth. From 30 million strong to nearly gone to bouncing back, bison have one of the most dramatic stories in nature.

Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kids Guide series. Your child's next favorite animal is waiting.
