Book: Coyote Raid in Cactus Canyon

5151Q3B5DRL._SL160_
Jim Arnosky’s Coyote Raid In Cactus Canyon is about peaceful canyon-dwelling animals whose day is interrupted by a group of coyotes. “Ornery and full of mischief”, the coyotes are just looking for trouble. We all know the bullying type. There’s drama, a dash of scare, and a nice resolution. No wonder he’s won all kinds of awards for his books.
His website has loads of fun activities including drawing lessons, songs, links to his videos.
