Sibert medalist Sy Montgomery takes readers on a staggering, emotional journey alongside the greatest land migration on earth -- that of the wildebeest across the Serengeti -- to provide a you-are-there account of one of nature's most fascinating occurrences. Montgomery explores the wonder of migration, asking questions like, how do migration patterns sculpt the environment? Why do animals migrate? And how do they know where to go?.
Examines a variety of animals that live on the Serengeti Plain in East Africa, including cheetahs, elephants, and giraffes. Features easy-to-read text, full-color photographs, a glossary, and a list of resources for further study.
