Description
Prairie dogs aren't really dogs-they're little squirrels that live underground! They dig long tunnels and stand guard by the openings. Prairie dogs bark to warn each other of danger and help plants grow by keeping soil healthy. Find out how their tunnels help other animals too!
Level Pre-1 readers are aimed at children who are starting to read. Basic language, word repetition and short, simple sentences help kids read with confidence.
This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
