Content
Exploring the garden gives children an opportunity to learn important things about the animal world right outside their doors. Unfortunately, many times animals disappear before children can get close to them. This book allows them to observe the creatures living in their garden up close, and answers intriguing questions, including: What is hiding behind the ivy? Where does the mouse live? What does a hedgehog most like to eat? The illustrations show a cat creeping through the grass, which insects are hiding underneath a rock, and what creatures are active in the compost pile. With movable flaps, readers can watch the lizard capture its prey and are shown unusual perspectives, for example the inside of a wren's nest.
