Protecting Backyard Animals

(4) K-3 Awesome Animals in Their Habitats series. These early readers provide simplistic introductions to various habitats. In a few short sentences or less per page, the texts cover each habitat's flora and fauna, environmental threats, and simple ways children can help preserve them (e.g., "Try to use less paper"). Crisp photographs of featured wildlife complement the text, but stock photos of children awkwardly superimposed on some pages are distracting. Glos. Review covers these Awesome Animals in Their Habitats titles: Protecting Ocean Animals, Protecting Rain Forest Animals, Protecting Wetland Animals, Protecting Backyard Animals, and Protecting Grassland Animals.
