Abstract
How does a beaver warn of danger? What's the advantage of being a tiny wood frog? Where do walruses like to live? Kids love to learn about wildlife, and the colours and textures of Max Elliot's mixed media artwork make it even more fun to engage with a variety of Canadian animals, their habits and habitats. -- From back cover.

Description
A large woven tapestry featuring a central image of figures in ornate european 17th century clothing on a dias facing a large Bison. Around the Bison are other animals: a mule deer, a raven and crow, a magpie, and a squirrel. 4 other black birds are on the bison’s shoulders and another bird is on it’s rump. The ground is a geometric tiled floor and Cascade mountain rises up in the background. In the sky a small helicopter can be seen long lining. This scene is edged in gold thread with a thick blue border full of flora and fauna of the rockies. The bottom two corners have scrollwork, framing “SUMMIT” over a row of pink flowers in bottom centre.
