About this title

Review:

Anyone looking for a resource to spark your students’ curiosity about the outdoors will delight [...] The topics covered include signs that animals leave behind, bugs and critters, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The detail in many of the sections will excite the readers. I love how the authors create the connections between nature, animals, and the human reader. [...] Will impress any teacher hoping to encourage budding naturalists or scientists. The curriculum connections are varied and abundant. School librarians will definitely want to add this to their collection. Highly Recommended. (School Library Connection)

Use this guidebook to learn about how to follow the clues, like tracks, noises, and bite marks, to discover all kinds of bugs, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals that call your backyard home. (Foreword Reviews)
