While flying south for the winter, Lonnie the Loon and his friends encounter strong winds that blow them off course. Instead of landing on coastal waters, they end up on a lake in the middle of the desert. Lonnie is uncertain about his home for the winter and hears strange and dangerous sounds in this dry and unfamiliar land. He forms a friendship with an unlikely character, a Quail named Quincy. Quincy teaches him about other animals in the Southwest desert, including a coyote that makes them both run for cover.
With a free QR Code Reader App on a smartphone or other electronic device, children and adults are able to hear and identify the call of the Gambel’s Quail, the song of a Cactus Wren, the howl of a coyote, and the rattle of a rattlesnake. The readers will also learn interesting facts about the Common Loon and animals that live in the Southwest.
Appropriate for ages 3-6, beginner readers, and adults who love to read for the children in their lives.
