Who Pooped in the Black Hills? is an ideal tool for teaching children (5 to 10 years old) about animal behavior, diet, and scat and track identification; the perfect companion for in the car or in the field on your next trip to the Black Hills.
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!

| "My kids loved this South Dakota book and the whole series of Who Pooped in the Park? Each of the books is similar, following along with a family on their vacation to a National Park. When reading the book, we learned how to look for signs that animals live in a certain area. Of course, scat (or poop) is one of the ways to identify the animals. But the book also talks about animal tracks and behaviors. The illustrations are fun and each page is loaded with facts."
-Jodie Trana, Bloom and Grow Forever "I bought three of these books, for different national parks, as a gift for my young nephew. When he opened the package his eyes lit up and a big grin crossed his face. Within seconds he was seated and reading the first volume. A wonderful way to introduce kids to identifying scat and tracks of wild animals. Highly recommend." (5 stars)
