If youve never seen a lowland tapir, youre not alone. Most of the people who live near tapir habitat in Brazils vast Pantanal (the Everglades on steroids) havent seen the elusive snorkel-snouted mammal, either. In this arresting nonfiction picture book, Sibert winners Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop join a tapir-finding expedition led by the Brazilian field scientist Pati Medici. Aspiring scientists will love the immediate, often humorous you are there descriptions of fieldwork, and gadget lovers will revel in the high-tech science at play, from microchips to the camera traps that capture the soap opera of tapir life.
