Being a Prairie Dog Is Hard Work! Flick thinks there are too many rules for prairie dogs. The peskiest rule is that he must never leave the tunnel at night. But no one seems to know why it's so unsafe--not even Father. So Flick decides to find out for himself and sneaks out one night after everyone is asleep. Once outside, Flick discovers that it's not so bad. He even befriends a neighborly rabbit, who shows him around. But when a close call with a dangerous animal sends Flick back underground, he learns the important lesson that the prairie dog town rules are there to protect him.

"Look inside to enter the subterranean world of the prairie dog's town. You'll discover how these small furry animals communicate, find food, and raise their young. Perhaps most interesting of all, you'll find out how they work together to build their perfect hideaways under the ground"--P. [4] of cover.

"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." ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚€ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚" Michael Forsberg, Conservationist and Photographer
