Synopsis

Discover the Wonders of the Driftless Region: An ABC Exploration

In this visually captivating ABC picture book, young readers are invited to explore the unique, unglaciated Driftless Region of North America. The journey is brought to life through a fascinating menagerie of local wildlife—from falcons to six-lined racerunners—and geological marvels like caves, bluffs, and sinkholes.

Crafted by Lisa L. Jacobson, a retired kindergarten teacher of 35 years, the text features an artful pairing of the alphabet with vibrant, eye-catching photographs by Timothy S. Jacobson. The book seamlessly expands vocabulary by weaving in intriguing facts about the region's rare habitat, answering questions like:

• What is an algific talus slope?
• Why are some habitats of the Driftless Area considered as rare as a tropical rainforest?
• Did you know you can eat the leaves and flowers of a hyssop plant?
• How old are the ancient rocks that form the bluffs towering over the Mississippi River?

An essential addition to the library of curious children aged 2–8 with an interest in local geology, animals, and plants. This book is also a valuable resource for adults seeking to understand the region’s unique ecosystem while enjoying quality time with their child. A perfect educational gift for children and teachers.

Let the adventures begin!
