About this title

From Booklist:

Both photos and original art are used to illustrate this pleasantly sunny, simple book in the new Introducing Habitats series. The text--four or five words to a sentence; four or five lines in large type to a page--is both easy to read and easy to understand. The authors first explain the term habitat. Then, in broad, topical chapters such as "Getting Energy," and "Babies in Spring," they examine a habitat that's familiar to many kids--their own backyards--describing a few of the animals and plants that may live there and how they function within it. A scattering of questions ("Which animals live in your yard?") invites children to participate directly in the learning process. City kids may feel a little left out, but they will still enjoy the lovely pictures as they learn about the places other kids and living things call home. Stephanie Zvirin
