Science and story blend seamlessly in this book about the lives of meadow mice.

Science and story blend seamlessly in this book about the lives of meadow mice. Learning becomes fun with beautiful illustrations and rhyming text! Readers will gain a deep appreciation for the world around us.

A curious young mouse boldly ventures into the meadow for the first time. There he is given a crash course on life-from creatures both friendly and not so friendly. He witnesses a caterpillar becoming a chrysalis. He marvels that fireflies can glow. Thoughtful encounters with a turtle and a rabbit help prepare him for danger. Science and story blend seamlessly in this entertaining coming of age tale. But do animals talk and help each other? Thoughtful back matter explores the phenomenon of animal altruism and what we are learning of animal communication, and delves deeper into the lives of meadow mice and the wonders of a meadow.

"Chad Wallace is an award-winning artist from Westchester, NY. He has illustrated ten books for children including- Earth Day Birthday (2003) Earth Feeling The Heat (2010) and Seahorses (2012). He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Syracuse University (1997) and received his Master of Fine Arts degree from FIT (2011). Chad's illustrations often feature animals in their natural environments. Working in a realistic style, Chad creates believability around his characters even when they are anthropomorphized to a degree. Chad is currently interested in re-formatting children's storytelling for the modern age. As technologies continue to evolve, the demand for creative imagery, and practical teaching applications will also increase. It is in that spirit that he has created ""The Meadow Mouse"" a book/app written and illustrated by Wallace. He is currently co creating an interactive game app designed to educate young people about the importance of honey bees. Chad is also an adjunct professor at Syracuse University where he teaches Drawing For Illustration and Illustration Concepts. To view more of his work, please visit- http-//www.chadwallace.com."
