Our Backyard Zoo shows the web of life on our planet and how a small change to any part of it can upset its balance. Join the children as they learn about the incredible diversity on our planet and why to conserve them.

Many animals live in or pass through our backyards. We are aware of some of these animals, but we don't even notice others. What animals have you observed in your backyard? What evidence tells you that other animals have visited, too?

A short rhyming story about an active boy, his pets and his family.

Ever wonder what it's like to have a zoo in your backyard? The dream isn't as far-fetched as you think. Michael Holmes and his mother did it. And this book recounts every animal they saw in their zoo that had no cages, and could be visited by birds and animals at will. All it took was wild idea, and few hundred dollars of animal food. Welcome to the backyard zoo!
