In My Backyard

Baby dogs are puppies and they belong to a litter, but what is a baby skunk called and what is the name of its family group? This clever, rhythmic story tells us just that! Counting from one to ten, familiar backyard animals are introduced by baby and family group name. Each stanza also tells a bit more about each animal by providing clues as to what they eat, how they sound or where they live. The ¿For Creative Minds¿ section includes more animal fun facts, information on keeping a nature journal and how to watch for wildlife in your own backyard. All Sylvan Dell Books feature additional teaching activities and the "For Creative Minds" sections that can be found at www.SylvanDellPublishing.com.
