Prairie Dog Town was previously recommended as the grades 7–8 extension book for the Mammals science unit and is still a fantastic book to go along with this course. Our current recommendation for the grades 7–8 extension is Strange but True Mammals, available above.
By Margaret T. Raymond and Carl O. Mohr
Surprisingly enough, comparatively little has been written about that most social and comical of our native animals, the prairie dog. A prairie dog town is laid out skillfully and carefully, with an eye to safety and comfort. Mostly underground, its tunnels and rooms are amazing to explore. In this engaging book by Margaret T. Raymond and Carl O. Mohr we have a chance to see prairie dogs going about their business with their curious neighbors, including jackrabbits, owls, ferrets, and antelope.
