Casey Cougar

Author Ronald Meyer has created his most engaging story yet with the adventures of a precocious cougar named Casey. Vibrant photographs entice the reader to continue turning pages as Casey develops from an energetic cub into an independent adult living in America's national parks. Whether you are sitting in a cabin in the north woods or in an urban classroom, Casey Cougar has something to offer readers of all ages. While young children will enjoy Casey's colorful images and dialogue, parents may choose to explore how family relationships develop, even in the wild! For educators, Casey Cougar is the perfect springboard to engage students in discussions about range, habitat, food chains and life cycles. Casey's story, with sound scientific information, lends itself to creating word walls, graphic organizers and inquiry-based lessons. Synopsis written by Ann C. Venier, K-8 Science Educator
