Discover the joys of identifying and observing insects and animals in My First Garden, an interactive and illustrated guide for the youngest of gardeners.

Your backyards and gardens are fabulous universes where many little animals and insects live. This book explores which creatures and critters may be found in common outdoor spaces. This book encourages children, ages 4 to 8, to create shelters where animals can visit, collect seeds to feed their guests, and respect boundaries of the wildlife that may stop by. They will look differently at earthworms, they will be fascinated by squirrels, and they will be amazed by butterflies!

Learn all about:

• Earthworms
• Robins and blackbirds
• Ladybugs
• Bees
• Lizards
• Earwigs
• Squirrels
• Frogs and toads
• Ants
• Snails
• and butterflies!

Few things are more exciting than creating and encouraging biodiversity in your own backyard or garden!
