Coyote Raid In Cactus Canyon

By Jim Arnosky

Book Overview

A gang of rowdy young coyotes appears over the rocky slope of Cactus Canyon, and the other animals do their best to lie low. But the coyotes chase the cottontail, bark at the wren, frighten the quail, and growl at the squirrel as he scurries for safety. When they turn on each other and accidentally roll over a rattlesnake, their bluster quickly fades as they run for the hills. Playing off the Western setting, Arnosky cleverly approaches a common problem for kids. This exciting episode set against a dazzling desert landscape is a perfect launching off place for discussing bullies.

Three Cheers!

I was looking for a book about the desert biome to share with 100 students K-5. This was the perfect choice. A fictional book in a realistic setting. Effective illustrations, simple storyline. Great for discussions about bullying. Very well written. Highly recommended.
