Riassunto

The pika survives where life is rocky. A male pika scurries across a stone pile high in the mountains. He nips leafy twigs off bushes and piles them in the shelter of a rocky den. This hamster-size cousin of the rabbit builds a hay pile as big as a bathtub. In the winter, he feeds on his hay pile, tunnels through the snow for lichens, and pops out for low-growing plants. The story of how the pika avoids predators, survives the cold, and sings for a mate will enthrall young readers.

Recensione:

"A good choice for beginning readers. Jacobson's photographs give readers a marvelous up-close view of the animals. . . . A relatively in-depth and accessible look at a lesser-known animal. (pika facts, predators, family, resources, author note, glossary)" —Kirkus Reviews

"Crisp color photos and easy-to-follow text show the life of a pika over the period of a year. . . . Children needing material for animal reports will find this volume helpful for getting beyond the typical study. It would also be useful when studying habitats and looking for unusual animals within the appropriate geographic area." —Library Media Connection

"Young readers are fascinated with animals and will enjoy mimicking some of the expressions of the Pika." —Science Books & Films
