About
the Series
A swallowtail butterfly struggles to emerge
from its chrysalis. A crab spider changes color to blend with its yellow calla
lily home. A ground squirrel gathers and stores its food in a cache, preparing
for the winter months ahead. In
Backyard
Safari,
readers will discover the miracles of nature taking
place right in their own backyard. Driven by bold photographs and engaging text,
the titles in
Backyard
Safari
give readers an up-close, hands-on look at animals that
may seem ordinary but are, in fact, quite amazing.
Each title in this
series includes a field guide for readers that will help them identify the
species they see. Animal information includes interesting behaviors, life cycle,
mating habits, geographical location, anatomy, enemies, defenses, and
environmental threats being placed upon these species.
Hands-on
activities, interesting sidebars, and fun facts are included so readers can make
the most out of the experience of being on safari in their own backyards.
