| "Mom pointed to something next to the tracks. It was lumpy, bumpy, and brown.
'This is porcupine scat,' Mom said. 'Scat?' asked Emily. 'What's scat?' 'It's a word hikers and trackers use for animal poop,' Dad replied. 'See, Michael,' said Dad. 'We don't have to get up close to an animal to learn about it. Instead of a close encounter of the scary kind, we'll have a close encounter of the poopy kind.' Everybody laughed, and Mom made a gross-out face." -pages 12-13 |
