Who is coming after Penny? Penny the Prairie Dog loves to explore. One day, she ventures far from the safety of her home to search for tasty treats. Along the way, she gains new friends-Squirrel, Bunny, and Mule Deer, who have keen senses that help them get out of danger. Penny ignores their warnings and lets her grumbling tummy lead her further along the prairie. What will she do when she finally comes face to face with a big, scary animal who wants to eat her? Can she escape and get back home safely?

Children ages 4 to 7 will learn about the habitats, diets, senses, and social relationships of prairie animals in Penny's Adventures: In Search of Tasty Treats, a wonderful first book in a three-part STEM series of adventure, curiosity, and friendship.
