Predator and Prey: A Conversation in Verse<\/a>
\nby Susannah Buhrman-Deever (Author) and Bert Kitchen (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n
