Pikas, tiny rabbit relatives living high in the mountains, serve as an entry point toward understanding the
consequences of climate change.
Pikas can’t live in temperatures higher than 77 degrees F. As the Earth’s temperature rises, pikas must keep moving
higher and higher up the mountains to find a cooler climate in which to live. Everything is connected in the natural
world. As the pikas livable habitat decreases, the lives of hawks, falcons, pine martins, foxes and the many other
creatures that prey upon pikas are affected.
If you are looking for an easily understandable introduction to the consequences of climate change, this is the book for
you. Glorious photographs and a well-organized text reveal the key role pikas play in the alpine ecosystem. Helpful
diagrams demonstrate the food web that includes this tiny mammal and other plants and animals, also threatened by the
changing climate. A glossary, map and list of actions kids can take to help decrease climate change are also included.
Free, downloadable activities can be found on the publisher's website.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
