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