Playful Prairie Dog introduces children to the life of a prairies dog “town,” where the squirrel-like animals carve out vast systems of borrows and tunnels in order to raise their families and protect themselves from predators such as coyotes, badgers, and hawks. The book describes what prairie dogs eat, how they look after each other, and their unique “bark” to warn other prairie dogs of danger nearby. Prairie dogs also often share their burrows with rattlesnakes, spiders, mice, rabbits, and burrowing owls. The book concludes with a page of prairie dog “fun facts.”
