Excellent, large photographs portray the daily life of a pika.  Although the reader level is about 4th grade, each page contains 1 to 4 sentences written in large font.  This creates a pleasing balance of text and photos.  Extra information about pikas is found in the back – which includes a life-size photograph, pronunciation for pika and its scientific name.  There is a list of pika predators along with a photograph.  Books and websites for further information accompany an author’s note to older readers about the future welfare of pikas.  There is a glossary but no index.
