Readers explore a backyard habitat and discover how garden animals and plants form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.
This title cleverly takes young readers on a mini safari through a backyard making connections between the living things that call it home. For example: As aphids suck nectar from the stems of plants, a ladybird leaves its winter hiding place to start munching on aphids. As worms wriggle through the soil helping to bring nutrients and rainwater to the roots of the garden's trees, a robin hunts for worms to feed to its chicks.
