(Crabtree Pub Co, Feb. 15, 2011)
What is living in your back yard? Young readers will be delighted to learn more about the animals living around them and how they form a community of living things. They will be introduced to some basic science concepts and vocabulary such as herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore. Wonderful photographs help show the connection between non-living things, such as sunshine and soil, and living things, such as plants, animals, and people. An activity offers suggestions on how children can become backyard helpers.
