Read an Excerpt

I am tiny and brown, so I can hide without trying. I live in forests, where I creep up big trees. I find bugs to eat with my beak, and I fly with my wings.

Do you see me hidden? Who am I?

I’m a Bird!

The brown creeper is a forest bird. It blends in on tree bark, where it hunts for food. It has a long tail with tiny spines underneath. The spines help it cling to trees. The brown creeper flies to the bottom of a tree and creeps its way up the trunk. COOL! This is how it searches for spider eggs, caterpillars and other treasures to eat.

***

My fur is snowy white in winter and brown in summer. I have very short legs, but I’m super fast when I run! I am skinny, and I wiggle into small places to hunt.

Do you see me hidden? Who am I?

I’m a Weasel!

The short-tailed weasel is one of the few animals that change color. It is brown all summer. In winter, it becomes mostly white. So it’s hard to see on snowy ground. This small critter hunts for other animals. It squeezes into tight places under shrubs and darts into underground burrows. It may be little, but it sure is fast. ZING!
