"This journal-style activity book encourages children to take a closer look at their immediate surroundings, whether they live in the city, country, or in between...While readers with actual backyards or ready access to nature will get the most out of the book, the underlying messages about attentiveness to one's environment have broad applications." (Publishers Weekly 2017-04-01)

"Think your backyard is too boring for an adventure? This fill-in journal will change your mind. Designed to get kids looking with a sharper eye, it asks questions such as, Is your nearest park big and beautiful or dull and disappointing? Plus, it gives prompts to get them writing and drawing."
