Woodrat Jill

A charming and delightfully sweet children’s nature book set in a wildlife refuge, Woodrat Jill by Nicky Laak is an interdisciplinary educational reader with bold, interpretive illustrations by award-winning nature artist Deb LaFogg-Docherty. Loads of fun and engaging, real wildlife animal adventures introduce young readers to the wonderful, wondrous world of nature. A rich celebration of plants, animals, and all things wild, this magical narrative helps children understand the importance of protecting all sorts of creatures and the earth’s natural resources. This book also celebrates the diversity at the heart of the fight to save endangered species from extinction; it shares the adventures of two wily and wooly woodrats named Jill and Pedro and a crocodile named Chrissy Croc, all of whom have a good bit of fun and a few harrowing brushes with danger over the course of two days in the wild.
