This book is a collection of stories about different events that occur on the prairies each year.

Comments:

This book is a must have for any prairie classroom library. Short captions appear under the finely planned detailed paintings. Thick with texture, colors, and precise shading, Moore’s illustrations are a visual exploration of prairie life. Every month has a different story to tell, and the text completes the experience of life on the prairies. A glossary at the end of the book reveals the definitions of some of the prairie terminology contained within the book.
