"The Teton mountain range of Wyoming is the setting for this lightly fictionalized treatment, which perceptively describes the mammals, plants, climate, and geological features unique to the area directly above a mountain tree line. Detailed drawings are as informative as the text."—BL. "A meaningful, meaty presentation."—K.
