Bøger i Mesaland Series serien

Baby Jack lives with his family - Mother Jack, Father Jack, and sister Jumping Jack - in a big mesquite thicket near Mount Baldy. A funny fellow with long legs and long ears, he loves to jump around the mesa. Join Baby Jack in the first book of the Mesaland Series as he explores the desert and encounters other creatures, including a little bee, a grasshopper, and a pile of big red ants.

The fifth book of the Mesaland Series tells the story of lovable, lumbering prairie dog Big Fat. His mischievous neighbour Little Ugly teases Big Fat when he plumps down for a rest on cactus spines and pops up howling. But when Big Fat shows off a beautiful litter of puppies, Little Ugly joins Big Fat as he watches carefully for the dangerous coyote Three-Toes.

Cocky, a rollicking little roadrunner, joins baby jack rabbit Hop-a-long and the other creatures of the desert in the fourth book of the Mesaland Series. The small, gawky bird with his long bill and peculiar running gait first frightens his neighbours, then makes them laugh. But they learn to love and respect him after he defeats the enemy rattlesnake in an exciting fight.

"Buzz, buzz, I like what I duz," sings Dumbee, the handsome bumblebee who buzzes happily around the mesa all day. Dumbee gets into more trouble than all the rest of his family put together, but he always buzz-z-z-z-es for help. But when Dumbee finds some mysterious blue honey, he proves that he is smarter than everyone else thinks.

In the second book of the Mesaland Series, Baby Jack grows up and is renamed Hop-a-long. Hop-a-long and his sister Jumping Jack leap across the mesa and get into plenty of mischief. On moonlit nights, Jumping Jack likes to hop on the smooth sand beside the mesquite. And Hop-a-long prowls the mesa, spying on his prairie dog friends and hiding from Hungry Owl.

In the sixth book of the Mesaland Series, meet a strange little animal sprinkled with needle-sharp quills - Mr. Porcupine. Whoops, he outsmarts Three-Toes the coyote. Crunch-crunch, he gobbles Rancher Brown's saddle. Ouch, he tangles with Fussy Bluejay.

"Yip, Yippy Yap Yippy Yay, I'm a clever fellow, they say,” howls Three-Toes the cunning coyote. Quiet as the shadow of a floating cloud, he gets around to escaping Rancher Brown's trap, tricking Towser the dog, and sending Hop-a-long jumping for shelter on his long jack rabbit legs. The final book of the Mesaland Series follows Three-Toes as he pops in and out of mischief on the sunny mesa.
