- Freeze and melt glaciers;

- Fill your mountain with a wide variety of animals that will work together to keep your mountain ecosystems healthy

SCIENCE WITH A PLAYFUL, DIY TWIST: This fun and funny nonfiction picture book humorously encourages readers to get busy making their own mountain ranges. By the end, they will have learned the many steps that ultimately turn a rock into a peak, a slope into a gorge, snow into a glacier, and much more!

GREAT FOR BUDDING ENVIRONTMENTALISTS: Once readers have "built" their mountains, their jobs aren't over--because the environment needs caretakers and stewards, of course! With rich back matter and lush illustrations accompanying an engaging text, this picture book is perfect for instilling a love of the natural world in budding scientists, environmental activists, and nature enthusiasts.

Amy Huntington

Amy Huntington began painting in kindergarten, using the ends of her pigtails for brushes. She drew castles, cats, and her siblings with the chicken pox. In summer she wrote poems while tucked in the branches of her favourite tree. She fills lots of sketchbooks and writes lots of words. Some turn into books. Her most recent books include NINE: A Book of Nonet Poems, (words by Irene Latham), and Fresh-Picked Poetry: A Day at the Farmers' Market, (words by Michelle Schaub.) Amy lives with her husband, two wild cats, and hens and in an old Vermont farmhouse that needs lots of care.
