The illustrations are so vibrant and clear. My little one loves identifying the garden creatures we find after school. It really brings our backyard lessons to life.

What makes this one leave the shelf and go outside.
What makes this one leave the shelf and go outside.
Instant Outdoor Missions
Kids finish a page, then head straight out to find the creature — no prep, no persuading, no lesson plan.
Fifty Tiny Neighbours
Every worm, bee, beetle and ant inside already lives within ten steps of your back door.
Facts That Actually Stick
Give a creature a job title and a child remembers what it does — long after the page is shut.
Grows With The Reader
120+ full-colour pages, one creature per spread, so it holds a five-year-old and still rewards a nine-year-old.
Every Page Hides Something They Have To Find
A toad in a work jacket. A slug on a wanted poster. A tiny beetle sweeping up in the corner. Every spread buries hidden objects, small surprises and characters who wander in from other pages — so kids go back over the same picture three times looking for what they missed, and pick up the toad's real name, real diet and real night shift while they're at it.

Amazing!!!! Would love to see the authors develop this into a complete STEAM kit. As a retired science teacher and grandmother I am always looking for something that brings out the fun in learning, and this book certainly has the potential.( I seldom write reviews, but this is really a great book if you have the time to read it with your child. It will take a little explanation for most early to middle elementary aged children. ) Even though the reading level is below their levels, my 8 year old granddaughter will love creating these scenes with play dough and the 9 year old may enjoy writing puppet shows about these creatures because of the way the authors have portrayed them. What a great tool to begin a scavenger hunt in the backyard looking for the animals and spending quality family time together! I found myself as an adult looking up additional facts about these bugs to satisfy my own curiosity. The Seek and Find and bug jokes are great touches! Overall interest level is about 4-9 unless you want to use it as a springboard with creative extensions to engage older or younger children.

Excellent book. I reviewed it and can’t wait to give it to my grandson. I would highly recommend this to any young explorer. It would make a great birthday or Christmas gift. The pages are colorful and the print is large.

My grandson who is 10 years old is extremely knowledgeable about bugs and backyard critters.
When I told him this book would teach lots of things he was skeptical, but once he looked at it, he could not put it down.!!
