Perfect for STEM learning and outdoor education.

Have you ever wondered ...

  • Are worms afraid of the rain?
  • Do fish use farts to communicate?
  • Why do elephants stomp their feet?
  • Do animals dream? What do they dream about?
  • Do animals get scared, feel happy, or become excited like we do?

In this highly visual, fun, and interactive book, kids will get to know all sorts of animals, from birds and caterpillars in their own backyard, to grizzly bears in chilly Alaska, to puffer fish in the waters of Australia.

Through a mix of activities, facts, stories, and pictures, kids will learn:

  • How to spot animal homes and follow their movements
  • How our actions impact animals and their ability to survive and thrive in nature
  • About some of the wildest and most interesting creatures on Earth

This wonderful introduction to the animal kingdom features playful questions, fun quizzes, and activities that will help kids study animals in their own backyards and make the world a better place for them.

"I absolutely love this book." —Jane Goodall
