About the Author DeAnna Brandt is an artist and an author. She and her husband raised their sons in the woods, which provided endless nature encounters.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. FACT A pocket gopher’s front teeth, like those of other rodents, never stop growing. They grow up to 15 inches a year. Constant chewing and gnawing wears them down so they remain the same size. ***** TRY IT In a forest, meadow or park, sit or lie down on your back with both fists on your stomach. Every time you hear a new bird song, lift one finger. See how many different bird songs you hear in 10 minutes. Vary the game by listing for any animal sounds―or any sounds at all like wind, leaves, water.
