One North Star

Five toads hop, four brook trout swim, three elk graze, two loons call, and one beaver gnaws on a paper birch tree, all under one north star! Whether sloshing through a bog, roaming across prairie or exploring into woods, children will learn what lives where by counting the creatures on foot or in flight, swimming or perching or taking root.  Exquisite wood-cut illustrations by Grand Marais legend Betsy Bowen in collaboration with Beckie Prange.  Phyllis Root also includes fascinating facts and information on Minnesota's ecosystems and the plants and animals that make their homes there. Hardbound and published through University of Minnesota Press.
