A Day in a Forested Wetland
Written by Kevin Kurtz & Illustrated by Sherry Neidigh
Come along on a journey through the aquatic habitat of a forested wetland. Meet birds and bobcats, along with the beavers and beetles that call the soggy forest home. Kevin Kurtz continues his award-winning A Day In series, and once again delights readers with a rhythmic, nonfiction look into a typical day for the animals that live in this wet habitat.
