Publisher Synopsis
"Young readers are fascinated with animals and will enjoy mimicking some of the expressions of the Pika." --"Science Books & Films" "Crisp color photos and easy-to-follow text show the life of a pika over the period of a year. . . . Children needing material for animal reports will find this volume helpful for getting beyond the typical study. It would also be useful when studying habitats and looking for unusual animals within the appropriate geographic area." --"Library Media Connection" "A good choice for beginning readers. Jacobson's photographs give readers a marvelous up-close view of the animals. . . . A relatively in-depth and accessible look at a lesser-known animal. (pika facts, predators, family, resources, author note, glossary)" --Kirkus Reviews "Crisp color photos and easy-to-follow text show the life of a pika over the period of a year. . . .

This book has great large-sized color photographs combined with solid information relayed n a chatty style that will appeal to young listeners or readers. I found the appendix with pika facts, information on the pika's family rabbits and hares, the page on pika predators and the bibliography with a note from the author to older readers especially useful. I highly recommend this book for grades 2-5 and hope there will be more by this author and illustrator.
