The Southern Swamp Explorer is an in-depth, take-along guide to swamp exploring, covering swamps and bogs throughout the Southeast. A guide to nine swamps you can visit is included.
The Southern Swamp Explorer ... your "MUST TAKE" guide for visiting any southern swamp or bog in the U.S.
Did you ever wish you could explore deep inside a swamp without:
~ getting soaking wet
~ becoming totally lost
~ being scared out of your wits
~ getting all mucky
~ or being eaten by an alligator?
Well, now you can .
The Southern Swamp Explorer is your ticket into the real life of a swamp.
You can read it in bed, from your hammock, lying lazily in the grass, or sitting at your desk. You can live the "wild" life right along with the swamp's wild creatures, and not even get a mosquito bite.
OR, you can take this book with you when you go swamping.
It will answer your questions and make you want to know more ~ MUCH more (and you'll probably find the answers right there in the book.)
The unusual format features an illustrated, ongoing, real-life fictional narrative of the interconnected daily lives of more than forty swamp creatures ~ birds, reptiles, mammals, fish, insects and plants, on every right-hand page. Facing each story page are illustrated sidebars crammed full of cool info and fun facts (set to the side to avoid slowing down the story).
The Southern Swamp Explorer is a book any nature lover will love and cherish forever.
