About the Author
Valarie Giogas, pronounced JOE-gus (In My Backyard) 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
Young readers who are interested in learning about backyard creatures will welcome this rhyming counting book. From -one doe's fawn- to -a swarm of ten nymphs- (grasshoppers), Giogas introduces children to the group and baby names of 10 critters commonly found in woodland areas. - School Library Journal
Readers will learn an interesting fact about each: eating habits, habitat and adaptations. Zecca's softly colored illustrations portray realistic-looking animals. - Kirkus Reviews
