Moles - Paperback

by Ashley Gish (Author)

Moles are expert diggers, spending most of their lives tunneling through soil in search of food. This zoology title, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines moles' physical features, such as velvety fur, spade-like claws, and sensitive snouts that help them navigate in the dark. Readers will learn about their diets of insects and earthworms, their intricate burrow systems, and their solitary lifestyles. Readers will also find a brief look at moles' place in myths and folklore across cultures. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
