A Backyard Safari
If you want another field guide to gather dust on your shelf, this is not the book for you. A Backyard Safari is meant to be a guide to how to discover the wildlife living near your home for yourself rather than a way to merely slap a label on a critter and forget about it whenever you are fortunate enough to randomly encounter it.
​
A Backyard Safari is designed to be both visually attractive and informative. It is filled with scores of color photographs printed beautifully by Puritan Press as well as lots of interesting facts about local wildlife. At the same time, it gently introduces readers to some of the jargon used by scientists in order to establish a solid foundation for further learning and it includes a glossary and an index.
A Backyard Safari is available from the bookstores listed below, as well as online at shermans.com and my Etsy store. Click the link below to order online or visit a bookstore near you. If you wish to purchase from one of the bookstores listed below, I recommend that you call in advance to make sure they have it in stock. Happy Safari!
