Camas & Sage [pb]
A Story of Bison Life on the Prairie
Written by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent & illustrated by Christina Wald [Ohio]
Explore and discover the northern plains in a truly unique way: through the eyes and ears of a bison calf in this title which is part fun narrative, part natural history. From Camas’s first attempt to stand on wobbly legs, this tale of an adventure-filled first year will have young readers hooked. Full-color illustrations splash across the page, illuminating each of Camas's firsts, including encounters with rascally prairie dogs, a crackling and booming thunderstorm, and irritable bulls. Camas & Sage clearly illustrates why the bison is North America’s most iconic prairie animal. 48 pages
"This colorfully illustrated book follows a year in the life of a bison calf on the American Prairie Reserve, a prairie restoration area in Montana... A useful, accessible book on the American bison." -Booklist (Grades 2-4)
