Synopsis
Baby dogs are puppies and they belong to a litter, but what is a baby skunk and what is the name of its group? In My Backyard, a clever, rhythmic story that tells us just that! Counting from one to ten, familiar backyard animals are introduced by baby and family group name. Each stanza also tells a bit more about each animal by providing clues as to what they eat, how they sound or where they live. The For Creative Minds section includes more animal fun facts, information on keeping a nature journal and how to watch for wildlife in your own backyard. Thanks to Sherry Crawley, Director of Education at Zoo Atlanta and to Helen Fischel, Associate Director of Education at the Delaware Nature Society for verifying the accuracy of the information in the book. And thanks to Caryl Widdowson of Safe & Sound Wildlife Rehabilitation (ME) for her help.

About the Author
Valarie Giogas has been writing since she was a young child. As a teacher, her favorite part of teaching was the books. She s been writing for children ever since she discovered that she could combine her love for children s literature with her passion for writing. The idea for In My Backyard began when her son was in preschool. They always drove by a gaggle of geese and he would giggle when she told him the group name. When the geese had goslings, the idea for this book was cemented. A member of the Society for Children s Book Writers and Illustrators, Valarie has also written articles for Hopscotch Magazine. Valarie and her family live in a suburb of Boston.
Review
In this rhyming fun-to-read counting book, young readers not only learn to count from one to ten, but also learn the baby names of various everyday backyard animals. This book offers a lot more than the typical counting book. RECOMMENDED. --Library Media Connection
Sylvan Dell Publishing brings In My Backyard to the lineup of great children's books released in 2007. Akin to virtually all Sylvan Dell books, it is a teacher or home schooling parent s dream. --Breeni Books
This book is a great change of pace from normal counting books. I definitely recommend this book for parents with preschoolers. I give this book a bright line of 5 stars. --Laura Williams' Musings
