Description

Do you want to know what an elk calf looks like? Or a mountain goat kid? How about playful bear cubs romping in the grass? This sweet and colourful picture book introduces children to over thirty species of young animals in the wild. It is an ideal guide for teaching kids about North American wildlife.

About the authors

"Take the picture first; then worry about identification and safety later" is Dennis Schmidt's motto for photographing wildlife. Dennis met his wife Esther at a time in life when most people are beginning to anticipate a comfortable retirement. His pictures tell us clearly that he has both a concern for the cause of wildlife conservation and what is meant by "professional photography".
