From School Library Journal Grade 2-4 Casey has combined a spare， accurate text with some excellent color photos to produce a good introduction to the black-tailed prairie dog (despite one reference to ``black or white'' tails， the lifestyle depicted is not that of the less social white-tailed prairie dog). Daily life and communal living are briefly described， as is the development of the young. The brief text is printed in a large， bold typeface. The statement， ``These prairie dogs are used to people and are not afraid，'' which captions a photo of children hand-feeding a prairie dog， may be quite true， but it is not a good idea for books to promote handling prairie dogs or any other so-called ``tame'' animal， as they can deliver a nasty bite if startled or angered. Both Scott's Little Dogs of the Prairie (Putnam， 1977; o.p.) and Chace's Wonders of Prairie Dogs (Dodd， 1976; o.p.) are more informative， but are for older readers. All in all， this is a pleasant and approachable book about an animal fast disappearing from our Western plains.
