An ideal tool for teaching young children about animal behavior, diet, and scat and tracks identification, it's the perfect companion for in the car or in the field on your next trip to the Colorado Plateau of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Fun illustrations of the animals and their scat and tracks supplement the charming story, and a quick-reference chart at the back makes field identification a breeze!

| "What is the difference between deer walking and running or deer pronking or stotting? Birds of prey, not just owls, also produce cough pellets. Claw marks on a tree might belong to a mountain lion, but chew marks could belong to a porcupine. Gary D. Robson's book, Who Pooped on the Colorado Plateau Scat and Tracks for Kids, wanders through some backcountry looking at one of my favorite topics. Scat is so cool.
While in one of the Colorado Plateau National Parks last week I was compelled to pick up this book for my personal collection of track and scat books after observing two young visitors discovering the tracks (and not the yucky poop). Robson helps young visitors in our national parks recognize not only who pooped, but what animals call the parks home. He guides their visit by helping them look for the signs left behind." -pestyside, epinions.com review
"Really funny"
"Got this for a nine year old and she read it straight through on Christmas morning. Its a story about going camping and trying to figure out who made all the tracks and poop. Nice chart at the end of the book. Recommended for youngsters who hike in the area."
