Pika

Submitted by Ms. Amanda!
Pika: Life in the Rocks is an enjoyable story of the life cycle of the pika, a small animal that lives in the Rocky Mountains. The story is told with crisp, vibrant photographs, and short detailed sentences. The “rock rabbit” called a pika is a hard worker. Spring through fall he gathers and bundles his food for the winter, all the while hiding from weasels and hawks who prey on him, and warning off other pikas who might steal his food with a ferocious “Eeeeeep!” His hard work pays off as winter arrives and Pika is able to eat his fill. In the spring, before the snow melts, Pika calls for a mate, and starts a family, and the story begins again with the pika pups. The photographs are adorable right up until the very end!
