Learning about the wildlife that lives in urban landscapes and the
reasons why is fun for readers because it happens through the eyes of
Scooter the dog and is delivered through his story. Children will
connect with this cute dog and the love his family has for him and they
will learn a lot about the wildlife right outside the front door!
Wild ones are moving into the city! Follow the adorable, curious dog
Scooter as he travels through an urban landscape, seeing many wild
animals. Cathy's charming illustrations draw upon real-life city scenes
from across the United States. Supplementary material contains
information about the wild species now often living in cities and how
they have adapted. Plus Carol offers a section "Is it Really True?" that
is both informational and fun. This book is a wonderful aid for children
to become aware of the presence of wild animals and understand why they
have taken to living in cities.
