My Big Backyard series.
These simple books are organized around a series of questions. The child-friendly answers are easy for preschoolers to relate to. Varied photographs of the animals in action (which oddly includes javelinas, an animal not likely to be found in a backyard) add interest to these slight offerings. A quiz, picture glossary, and note to parents and teachers are appended. Ind. Review covers these My Big Backyard titles: Armadillos, Deer, Javelinas, and Squirrels.
