Follow a year in the life of Volans, a flying squirrel, as she
glides in the night air to hunt for food, deftly avoids danger from
a raccoon, and gives birth to three tiny pups before preparing once
again for the coming winter. Emerging at night from a cozy nest
high in a tree, Volans the flying squirrel glides down. Although
called a "flying" squirrel, she actually doesn't fly-she glides
using fur-covered flaps. Her instincts lead her to her hidden cache
of food. She is also looking for a roomier hiding place because she
is ready to give birth. When her pups are born she stays close to
home, giving them milk and keeping them safe from predators until
they can venture out on their own. Filled with intriguing facts and
gorgeous illustrations, readers will be fascinated by the story of
these remarkable rodents. This latest title in the Secret Life
series has been vetted by a flying squirrel expert and includes
back matter with more in-depth information, a glossary, and further
resources.
