The Book:

Liz is a young bison calf who loves life and wants to share her environment with you. When the sun is shining on the beautiful grasslands of Yellowstone Park, she and the rest of the bison herd have a lovely time running, playing, and resting. Here, Liz shares interesting facts about herself and her bison family. She explains how she will grow both darker and larger, becoming more like her parents. The bison herd stays near water sources, such as the lakes and rivers of North America’s high plains. Although they must watch out for predators, they live on protected land in national and state parks, where people may see them when they visit. With Liz’s help, you can learn all about the daily activities of the Yellowstone bison. This children’s book, complete with original photographs, offers an introduction to the life and characteristics of bison and makes young readers aware of the need for conservation.
