About this item
There are lots of babies in the bayou, and even though they might have sharp white teeth, hard shells, webbed feet, or quick claws, their mothers still need to watch over them and protect them from harm. The babies learn how to dig, and swim, and follow their alert mothers’ lead. Children will fall under the bayou’s spell as they learn about a new world in this lyrically charming book by one of our most respected naturalists. As he’s done so masterfully with other animals and environments, Arnosky presents an intimate look at an unusual and rich habitat.
About the Author
I became interested in wildlife at a very young age. The woods around our home were filled with wild creatures. I spent whole days outdoors tryng to find them. Because I was naturally talented in drawing, I drew pictures of the animals I liked best, first in cartoons, gradually learning to draw them realistically, until I could draw and dpaint any aninal I saw and make it look real and alive on my paper.Everyone of the 104 children's books written and illustrated by me has been based on things I have seen for myself in Nature. I have always gone outdoors having no preconceived idea of what I might fine. Nature tells me what my day, my walk, my sightings, my drawings, and also my books will ultimately be. I am happy for whatever gift Nature gives me, a gift for the going.Please look for my books in your library and here on Amazon.
