Molly's Tale of the American Pikas

Welcome to the newest book in the Lucky Penny Publications' Wildlife Adventures for Young Readers series. Molly the Meadowlark takes readers on a journey through five national parks that are threatened by climate change. Molly introduces us to the pika, an adorable mammal that can be found in each of the national parks Molly visits. All of the parks are located in the northern region of the United States, with the tale beginning in Lassen Volcanic National Park in California and continuing to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, Glacier National Park in Montana, Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, and ending in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. Molly will teach readers about pikas, including how they escape from animals that hunt them, such as the Sierra Nevada red fox, weasels, bobcats, and hawks. What is an even greater danger to the pikas than all of these predators? Read Molly's story to learn more about how changes in climate are one of the biggest threats to our dear little pikas' way of life.
