"COME BACK, SALMON: How a Group of Dedicated Kids Adopted Pigeon Creek and Brought It Back to Life"

by Molly Cone ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 1992

An inspiring story of young scientists in action, featured on Nova: how schoolchildren in Everett, Washington, worked with their teachers to clean up Pigeon Creek and reclaim it as a salmon spawning ground. Candid color photos of boys and girls of several ethnic groups, plus a text based on recorded conversations with the kids, lend drama and immediacy; additional scientific facts (e.g., how salmon scales tell the age of the fish; how salmon build a nest or ""redd"") appear in boxes. Glossary; index.
