Predator and Prey

Predator and Prey: A Conversation in Verse
by Susannah Buhrman-Deever (Author) and Bert Kitchen (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Who wins, the assassin bug or the spider? The bat or the frog? The ant or the honey bee? The male firefly . . . or the female? The battle for survival between predator and prey is sometimes a fight, sometimes a dance, and often involves spying, lying, or even telling the truth to get ahead. Biologist Susannah Buhrman-Deever explores these clashes in poems and prose explanations that offer both sides of the story.
