The Prairie That Nature Built (Hardcover, Age 4-10)
Explore the Prairies that Nature Built!
This book cites inspiration from both the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Kansas and the Badlands National Park in South Dakota, but did you know there are lots of prairies that exist all over our great nation?!
What is a prairie? Prairie is the French word for meadow from the Latin pratum (same meaning). The North American prairies were created thanks to our Rocky Mountains that shielded the earth from much needed rain for vegetation (which is called ‘rain shadows’ which sounds really cool but really just means the mountains block water and kill things like trees…). However, this creates a very unique and very temperate grasslands with a very unique environmental and preservation significance in our history.
The Prairie That Nature Built is an awesome book for kids to learn about our nation’s prairies. While many nature preserves for prairies exist, they are considered disappearing habitats in our ever-expanding development in America. It is awesome for kids to see the wild prairie illustrations and learn about the different vegetation, fire issues and rains that can bring back prairies to a beautiful green! As always, Dawn Publishing offers educational material in the back of the book for additional learning. Awesome book!
