Beschreibungen
<p><b>Star-shaped flowers, short-tempered snapping turtles, and clusters of chicken-flavored mushrooms are just a few of the many fascinating things awaiting discovery just beyond the typical North American backyard.<br></b>In <i>Heartland Habitats: 265 Midwest Nature Walks</i>, Mary Blocksma guides readers through North American terrain, introducing them to the land and its thriving wildlife of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. From birds of all kinds to fungi of both the tasty and deadly varieties—Chicken of the Woods, Death Caps, Jack-O-Lanterns—Blocksma gradually uncovers a world rich with breathtaking beauty. Adventures filled with swan-on-goose battles, squirrel squabbles, and forays into forests all lead to a deeper understanding of the world around us.<br>A lively and detailed guide in befriending the great outdoors, <i>Heartland Habitats</i> showcases the natural wonders thriving just outside our homes with full-color illustrations and vivid descriptions.</p>
<p>In <em>Heartland Habitats: 265 Midwest Nature Walks</em>, Mary Blocksma guides young readers through North American terrain, introducing them to the land and its thriving wildlife.</p>
