Publisher Description
Jim Arnosky's beloved nature expert, Crinkleroot, is back!
Award-winning children's book artist and naturalist Jim Arnosky features his iconic character in this fun and informative picture book. Crinkleroot, who was "born in a tree and raised by bees," guides young readers through the natural world, taking them on a journey through the seasons, and giving examples of things they can do in their own backyards to protect the environment.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Arnosky's first Crinkleroot book in more than a decade, the bearded woodsman who "was born in a tree and raised by bees" explores environmental stewardship by way of example: he plants grass and trees, cleans up litter, and composts leaves. "Sometimes giving back to Nature means picking up after yourself," he says. Arnosky blends lighthearted cartoon elements with more naturalistic depictions of birds, mammals, and fish, carefully rendered in pen and acrylic washes. Final notes offer suggestions for indoor energy conservation. The ever-appealing Crinkleroot (who could be a shared descendant of Walt Whitman and Santa Claus) should have readers rethinking their relationship to the natural world. Ages 5 8.
