This is a nonfiction book for all ages--from grandkids to grandparents. It is filled with interesting, amusing, and little-known facts about some of Florida's most unique kritters--kritters that are also among Florida's most precious treasures.
This is an illustrated book about eleven of Florida's most interesting and, in some cases, endangered or threatened species. It is a light-hearted look at their daily lives, their history, and some of their most unusual characteristics. The book is written in simple, easy-to-understand English that can be read and understood by children as young as eight or adults of advanced age. It was written by an award-winning writer who has lived in Florida for over thirty years and has been a staff and freelance writer for most of his life. The endearing illustrations were also done by a well-known Florida artist. Some of the animals included in this collection are the scrub jay, American crocodile, manatee, Florida beaver, snake bird, burrowing owl, and Osceola turkey.
