Coyote at Pinon Place by Deborah Dennard

informative fast-paced

3.0

I find it very hard to get the image of a coyote settled in my mind. I think it's the size. Not living in a country that has them - or which has foxes or wolves for that matter - I picture them looking a little like a wolf and I think I inflate their size somewhat, and then I remember that I'm inflating and shrink them down until they're probably smaller than they actually are. The book says "between a small collie and a German shepherd" but the German shepherd who lives next door is HUGE (and delightful) and the only collie I really know is a border collie, and they vary. So I'm stuck, even with a picture book in front of me.

It's a nice picture book. I'm more interested in the landscape, to be honest, because it's so different from anything we have in NZ and the illustrations really bear that out! Lovely colour palette, anyway.
