What are the special features of a coyote?

The coyote has grayish-brown to yellowish-brown fur on top and whitish fur on its underparts. It has large triangular ears on the top of its head and a long, narrow muzzle. It has a black nose; yellow eyes; and a long, bushy tail. One way to tell the coyote apart from wolves and dogs is to watch its tail when it runs.

What Parents And Teachers Are Saying About Kyle Oty?

I use Kyle Oty in my classroom as an addition to our regular state history curriculum. They love reading the stories and they really love doing Kyle’s Crafts!

The Arizona Adventures of Kyle Oty should be a part of every curriculum!

My kids can’t wait to read the next chapter of Kyle Oty! They even love the puzzles and questions at the end of each chapter. What a great way to make learning about Arizona fun!

“Elementary students will fall in love with Kyle Oty and the critters he meets on his adventures to discover and learn about Arizona and its history. Ms. Henley-Smith has packed her book with well organized information, has included many creative activities and questions for thought, and has done it with a breezy, humorous touch. As a Media Specialist, I would enthusiastically recommend this delightful text to both educators and learners.”

“Linda has written the most amazing book about AZ history for teachers, homeschooling parents and kids. Kyle Oty (a coyote) takes kiddos on adventures throughout the state, past and present. Along the way are tons of activities, from craft ideas to critical thinking skills and vocabulary building exercises, packed into 260+ eye-appealing pages. All I can say is, I wish I had this kind of book when I taught 4th grade! If you know a teacher or parents of K-5th graders in Arizona, this would make a great gift!”
