Los coyotes (Spanish Edition) by Mari Bolte

From prickly porcupines to slippery seals, animals are wonderfully diverse. Translated into North American Spanish, this popular zoology series for elementary students studies mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates from around the world. Beautiful photos pair with factual life science text to explore the featured creature’s appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each title also includes a related folktale or myth for cross-curricular learning. With its yips, barks, and howls, the coyote is North America's very vocal, wide-ranging wild dog. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal's anatomy, habitat, hunting and feeding habits, life cycle, and pup care. Its pack life is described, too. A backmatter feature discusses Coyote's role as a trickster in many American Indian folktales. Part of Creative Education's popular Planeta animal series, this North American Spanish translation supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, and an index.
