Creek Critters

I have many fond memories of playing in creeks as a child. There was so much to discover in the water and on the shoreline. I was quite keen on finding bugs, Water bugs fascinated me.

Jennifer Keat Curtis, partners with the Stroud Water Research Center to bring young learners the book, “Creek Critters.” This book, tells the tale of a brother and sister checking out the life in their creek. These two are trying to find out if the creek near their home is healthy. This can be done by seeing what types of lifeforms are found there. Love the illustrations by Phyllis Saroff. These along with full the book’s full color photographs, show readers some of the multitude of life that inhabits healthy creeks.

As with all Arbordale books, “Creek Critters” includes a creative mind section and a link to more free activities available online.

Description:

Do you like scavenger hunts? How do you tell if creek water is clean and healthy? Join Lucas and his sister as they act like scientists looking for certain kinds of stream bugs (aquatic macroinvertebrates) that need clean, unpolluted water to survive. What will they find as they turn over rocks, pick up leaves and sort through the mud? Read along to find out if their creek gets a passing grade.
