Entertaining and educational, the book teaches children about some of the unique animals found around the state of Texas. Texas Critters and Creatures is one of a handful of nature and animal discovery books written by award-winning author and photographer Cheryl Johnson. I loved the colorful photos and easy-to-read format that make this story an enjoyable read. The book includes additional resources, activities, and information linked at the back to help parents and encourage children to begin their backyard adventuring. The author has provided children with a valuable resource that can continue to inspire them for years to come. It would also be a fabulous book for nature and animal lovers, particularly homeschooling families.
