Overview

Age range 3 to 8 Learning becomes fun with this book about the geography of north American rivers and about the animals that live there. Amazing artwork will inspire children in classrooms and at home to appreciate the world around us! The great rivers of North America are teeming with life and on the pages of Over in a River-from blue herons in the Hudson to salmon in the Columbia, and from dragonflies in the Rio Grande to mallards in the St. Lawrence. Children will slither like water snakes and slide like otters while singing to the tune of Over in a Meadow. And they'll count baby animals in watersheds all over North America! What a delightful way to learn about riparian habitats and geography at the same time!
