Coyotes

Known for their haunting howls, coyotes live throughout North America. These bushy-tailed canines look like wolves, but they are much smaller. Mother coyotes raise their tiny pups in hidden dens. Not long after birth, the pups yip, yap, howl, and bark to communicate with their mom and other adults in the pack. They also pounce on bugs, play, and pretend to fight to sharpen their hunting skills. In this coming-of-age introduction to coyotes, readers will see how these pups learn how to howl and hunt. The lively text, colorful pages, and exquisite photos are sure to delight and engage emergent readers.
