When you stop and really think about it, the prairie is a happening place. There's whole heck-of-alot more to it than waving wheat fields and a sky spreading out as far as your peepers can see. Oh yeah, it's really a jungle out there, I'm telling you!
Tomorrow we're going to look at a series of guides I made for an awesome non-fiction picture book that takes a close, close look at the prairie's fab flora and fauna, as well as studying a year's worth of weather patterns. These guides were such fun to make because I learned so ding-danged much while doing so!
