What's Going Down in Prairie Dog Town?

“Reduced to living on a tiny fraction of remaining grassland, prairie dogs live in extended families, and build underground havens for many animals, friends and foes alike. Join Tyler as he explores the neighborhood Prairie Dog Town, and learns about who lives there. Author Alan J. Bartels tells an engaging story that comes alive with Hannah Segura's delightful images."

“As one of the least appreciated of all North American mammals, prairie dogs have survived massive government-sponsored poisoning efforts for more than a century, in spite of their role in promoting prairie diversity. This delightful book should help children learn of the biological importance of prairie dogs to the more 100 other kinds of animals that benefit from their presence.” 

- Paul Johnsgard, Foundation Professor of Biological Sciences Emeritus, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

"Prairie dog towns are marvelous magnets of life in the Great Plains, but so much of the magic happens out of sight, at night, and underground. This beautiful little book gives young readers a doorway into a prairie dog's world, a child's heart determined to protect them, and shows why every voice matters in conservation."
