Put nature in the hands of children! Critters of Iowa is your wildlife pocket guide that’s informative, concise, and easy to use. Written by wildlife biologist Alex Troutman, this handy book presents 63 critters of the Hawkeye State—if an animal is in this book, it’s found in Iowa.
Each species is showcased in a professional-quality photograph that’s paired with such neat-to-know details as habitat, range, and preferred food sources. Illustrations of the critter’s tracks complement the information, and a “Did You Know?” paragraph provides fascinating trivia worth sharing with family, friends, and teachers. Critters of Iowa includes important-to-know mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
Book Features:
63 critters—only Iowa animals
Full-color photos of every species
Concise descriptions and interesting “Did You Know?” facts
Attractive layout with kid appeal

Alex Troutman is a Fish and Wildlife Biologist and Environmental Educator with a passion for sharing and immersing the younger generation into nature. He has a Bachelor’s of Biology and a Master’s Degree with a focus in Conservation Biology from Georgia Southern University. Knowing how it feels to not see anybody who looks like you in your dream career, Alex makes it a point to be that representation for the younger generation. He is the co-organizer for several Black in X weeks, including Black Birders Week and Black Mammologists Week, and he takes part in wider movements encouraging diversity in nature, the celebration of Black individual scientists, increasing awareness of Black nature enthusiasts, and diversity in STEAM fields. With a passion for nature that started when he was young, Alex was always amazed by Red-tailed Hawks soaring overhead while fishing with his family. He looked up to conservationists like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin. Now he has made a career out of that passion and curiosity. You can catch him outside camping, exploring nature with his dog, and birding in his spare time. When he is not spending time outside, he enjoys relaxing with family and trying out new foods, especially BBQ and pizza.
