Books written and illustrated
by Bruce Hiscock
 The Big Tree has always
been my best selling book. It tells the story of a sugar maple
in my neighbor's yard that has been growing since around 1775.
 The Big Rock is picture
book that explains basic geology through the description of a
huge glacial boulder that sits a short distance from my house.
 The Big Storm follows a
huge storm that crossed the United States from coast to coast,
causing avalanches, high winds, tornadoes, rain, hail, and a
blizzard on the opening day of baseball season in New York City.
The various weather phenomena and forecasting techniques are
explained in the text. This book will be reprinted with a new
cover soon.
 The Big Rivers describes
the huge flood that occurred on the Mississippi and Missouri
Rivers a few years ago. The book shows how we are all bound together
by rivers and how important it is not to underestimate the power
of natural forces. There is a possible Elvis siting in the clean-up
after the flood.
 The Big Caribou Herd is
the most recent of the Big Books. It follows the migration of
the Porcupine Caribou Herd across the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge in Alaska. Along the way, we meet wolves, grizzly bears,
wolverines, snowy owls, and many other animals.
My newest book that traces the journey of a snowy owl from the
Canadian Arctic, across the vast forests of the taiga, to where
it spends the winter in the New York State.
 Coyote and Badger is about
cooperation in the animal kingdom. Set in the Chaco Canyon desert
of New Mexico, we learn the true story of how these animals team
together to hunt for food, especially in times of drought.
 Every child in the North
Country always asks, When Will It Snow? This is a fictional tale
of young Robin who is ever anxious for the first flakes to fall.
Set in the rural area where I live, all the animals, including
the three legged fox are based on real animals I have observed.
 Tundra is the only chapter book
I have written and illustrated. It describes the plants and animals,
including mosquitoes, of the far north. The description includes
the tundra world wide, but the focus is on the Barren Lands west
of Hudson Bay. Frequent digressions of my impressions of the
land while canoeing there enliven the factual text. Hover
here on Tundra:the
Arctic Land for purchase information.
Books illustrated by Bruce
Hiscock
 The factual story of a butterfly
that migrates from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico all the way
to Vermont.
 A loggerhead turtle comes
ashore and lays 100 eggs in the sand. This is the story of what
happens to those eggs and the little turtles that hatch from
them.
 Sugar
Is Sweet So Are Lots of Other Things, by Gail Haines, describes
the history, production, pleasure and pitfalls of this favorite
food additive. Hover on the title above for purchase information.
Other books: I have illustrated a number of other books, all

internet sources. Search by Bruce Hiscock, illustrator.
