From the singing of little wrens in spring to paper wasps building their
nests in summer; from baby bats drinking mother's milk in fall to baby
possums climbing into mother's pouch in winter, In My Backyard
celebrates nature and backyard animals through the seasons. Wildlife
artist Ron Broda's detailed paper-sculpture art beautifully complements
Margriet Ruurs' lyrical text, and young readers will discover a
captivating variety of animals and insects.
Find the ladybug in each illustration, along with a hidden animal, which
becomes featured on the next page. A detailed legend and helpful hints
on how to turn your own backyard into an inviting place for animals to
live make this book a must-have for wildlife and nature lovers alike.
