We have ordered the majority of the Backyard books for our daughter who loves science. Good explanation, fair illustrations. Has been great for preschooler, early elementary age child regarding understanding material and encouraging interest in science. Our favorites are "Are you a Ladybug" and "Are you a Butterfly" but all books have been informative and fun to read! We have even learned quite a bit as parents and one of us actually has a science background.

I quite like the format of this book. It tells the story of bees by asking questions. At the end it turns around to what a child is. The illustrations are terrific and the information is perfect for young children to understand. I was so impressed that I bought numerous other books that are by the same authors and done in the same format. They will work well in my classroom.
