Welcome to the world of Backyard Wonders where children learn about the creatures in their own backyard, school yard, or park. Surprising facts and captivating illustrations introduce children to the magical in the everyday.

The creatures in "Backyard Wonders" are described and classified. Why they are interesting and unique is covered from a child's point of view. The hummingbird flies like a helicopter. The ladybugs protect themselves by tasting awful. The sow bug's family has been around since the dinosaurs. That big, striped fuzzy bee is a bumblebee who's technically not supposed to fly but does it anyway. Bats are so ugly they're cute. A lightening bug is a firefly and a glow worm is a baby firefly.

This book should encourage children to eagerly look around and learn more. The delightful illustrations will capture the imagination of every child and adult who opens the book.
