Crinkleroot, author/illustrator Jim Arnosky's grandfatherly guide to the wild, returns in this eleventh work of picture-book natural history. In this entry in the series, the reader learns about the different kinds of natural habitat - wetlands, woodlands, roadways, grain fields, grasslands, and drylands - and the wealth of creatures that call them home...

Every bit as engaging as its predecessors, with a wealth of information, lovely artwork and a charming guide, Crinkleroot's Guide to Knowing Animal Habitats also features a search and find element, both on specific pages, and throughout the book overall. Both educational and entertaining, it is a book I would recommend to young animal lovers, as well as to fellow fans of Crinkleroot. ( )

Jim Arnosky draws children into the world of animals with his beautiful illustrations and humor. My children always loved these books and they learned so much about nature from Jim Arnosky. ( )
