Kyle Oty is a young coyote who longs to explore and learn all about his home State of Arizona, so he puts on his backpack and says goodbye to his family. As he sets out on his great adventure, he sings about what he’s seeing because after all, he is a singing coyote. Along the way, he meets many Arizona animals who teach him all about the state’s history, geography, and people, whom they call “Two-Legged Creatures.” He learns that his state is home to many kinds of plants, animals, and critters who fly, crawl, or live in the water. Kyle loves hearing about all of them.

Kyle travels all around the state and comes to appreciate the beautiful deserts, rivers, lakes, forests, and mountains that make Arizona a beautiful place to live. He learns all about the pioneers who came to settle what used to be called the Wild West and he also learns that there were people who lived in Arizona thousands of years ago before the pioneers. When Kyle first hears the word pioneers, he thinks they were people who wore pies on their ears!

Your children will love Kyle Oty and his friends, and they will have fun while learning! Whether you are using his book in the classroom or at home, there is no better way to teach about Arizona than with Kyle!
