Bobcat Prowling
by Maria Gianferrari (Author) Bagram Ibatoulline (Illustrator)
In this companion to Coyote Moon and Hawk Rising, a young bobcat searches a suburban landscape for a territory to call home.
As the day breaks,
feline eyes blink open,
and yowls disrupt the still morning air.
A young bobcat leaves tracks in the snow as he sets out to find a home range of his own. Amidst the harsh winds and icy chill of winter, Yearling travels between the deep wilderness and suburbia, hunting for prey as he goes. He tracks hare, squirrel, pheasant...
Watching.
Waiting.
LEAP!
But each time, he is foiled by the resident predator. Will Yearling find a territory to call his own?

Gr 1-2--Action-packed illustrations capture the journey of a yearling bobcat searching for a new territory when he is sent out from his mother's den. The quest for a new home leads the bobcat to encounter many other species, some prey, and others competitors, for food and space. The poetic language captures the details of the bobcat's situation and the accompanying back matter and additional resources provide ample opportunities for young researchers interested in extending their learning. The text itself is not sufficient for research but is an engaging starting point. Ibatoulline's watercolors are detailed and full of energy and emotion. VERDICT A visually arresting introduction to the species that makes its home throughout North America.--John Scott
