The days of summer are winding down and as they do, you may discover, that so are your list of suggested activities for the armies of 5 - 8 year olds who are screaming the same chant from one coast to the other..."I'm bored!"
Getting released right in time for the last summer hurrah of Labor Day weekend, is the first in a junior adventure series by Animal Planet's, Jeff Corwin. This early chapter book series is perfect for your little outdoor adventurer.
The first book, Your Backyard is Wild, introduces characters Lucy and Benjamin who live in the Florida Everglades with their mom, a biologist, and their dad, an ecologist. While the two are used to discovering wildlife in their own surroundings as well as spots they travel to for their parents' jobs, they are expecting a different sort of vacation when they visit their cousin in New York City. Known for it's skyscapers, neon lights, and millions of people, Lucy, Benjamin, and their cousin Gabe are surprised to find the amount of wildlife they discover in New York. All it takes is some quiet observation in Gabe's backyard.
This 96 page early chapter book is going to be a great addition to my 1-2 grade reading section. The pages combine some interesting facts about some common and some less common animals with a simple story -perfect for young readers.
