This book includes different animals and birds that are found in the woods of Minnesota, many of which are also found in Oregon. Each animal has an illustrated drawing of itself, it's tracks, information on why their tracks look the way they do, and where you are likely to see their tracks. The book can be used all at once, or when focusing on one animal or animals you may see in areas around your school.
