About this ebook
Discover the tiny yet abundant world of a wetland bog in this new book in an illuminating nonfiction picture book series that explores how even the smallest habitats play big roles in nature.
Welcome to the majestic misty mountains. Where fog fills alpine valleys, rains flood roaring rivers, and streams flow down to a meadow and collect in a mossy, mountain bog.
A bog might not seem like much on the surface. It’s a wetland with spongy, damp soil and moss filled with decaying leaves and plants. But bogs play a crucial role in protecting their environment. By soaking up heavy summer rains, a bog prevents flooding, filters and replenishes groundwater, and provides a habitat for a vast array of plants and creatures, from busy beavers to endangered bog turtles—the tiniest turtles in the United States.
With snappy, funny text and lush illustrations, this book invites curious readers to discover a tiny, unassuming ecosystem overflowing with life.
