Reviewed by Dr. Paul V. Switzer, Eastern Illinois University: Baby Ground Squirrel follows the first season of life for a litter of Richardson's ground squirrels, from the initial conception to right before hibernation. This book describes their development, anti-predator behavior, feeding behavior, burrow layout, and hibernation, all at a level that is appropriate for children new to such ideas. The book also has an informative "Did you know?" section at the end that provides more detail on ground squirrel biology. Throughout, Lynch's photography provides excellent photographs to illustrate the ideas being presented in the text. Our children reviewers loved the pictures and the facts the book presented on the life cycle of the ground squirrel.
