Delve into the fantastical world of "The Loon, the Bat, and the
Raspberry Bush," a treasury of unforgettable fables from gifted
storyteller and naturalist Allan Foster.
Featuring common plants and animals found in backyards, parks,
local woodlots, and forests around the Great Lakes Region, this
collection of carefully selected tales artfully explains such
mysteries as why cardinals are red, how roses got their thorns, and
why groundhogs spend half their lives underground. Each story is
accompanied by a pencil sketch and brief natural history to help
identify specific creatures and link them directly to the
environment, delivering not only an intriguing naturalist lesson,
but an entertaining tale.
Using his signature storytelling technique, Foster associates
local plants and animals with famous characters from myths and
legends while other stories introduce not-so-famous and new
characters-plants and animals that talk to each other, defend their
homes, fall in love, risk their lives, and play practical
jokes.
Soar in the skies with the hummingbird army, solve a nutty case
with Squirrel, and discover a very important lesson with a Canadian
goose. Ideal for families and children alike, "The Loon, the Bat,
and the Raspberry Bush" is the perfect tool for learning more about
our exciting natural world.
