Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 2-5. This wide-format book shows children how to observe and support wildlife around their homes, schools, and communities. Packed with useful information, the book discusses characteristics of different animals and qualities that make their habitats suitable for them. It introduces common animals, their habitats, and the foods that attract them. Suggested activities and projects include preparing a feast for butterflies, exploring a rotting log, and making a compost pile. With sound advice and many helpful illustrations, precisely drawn in blue and gray ink, this offers children small ways to support wildlife close to home. Carolyn Phelan

This is really a good resource when teaching habitats on different animals. It provides you with ideas for student products/projects that you wouldn't haven't otherwise thought of.

I am a certified teacher and a mother of two little boys who love the outdoors and wildlife. I first saw this book displayed at the Little River Canyon Center and inquired about it from their nature educator. Once we got it we were able to see just how many great ideas and information it has about the wildlife and setting up an area to view them in action. I would certainly recommend this book to parents and children who are nature enthusiasts and just a little crafty at heart!
