Jonathan Schork's "back yard" is an island of wildlife habitat in an ocean of mowed lawns treated with chemicals and vast expanses of concrete and asphalt. A veritable zoopark of wildlife, the author offers us in this small book a brief glimpse of the local birdlife, but so much more. With range maps, cheeky artwork, bird trivia, and nonsense verse that channels the spirit of Dr. Suess, Mr. Schork gives us his view of nature, and a volume uniquely suited to a child's curious mind.
