America's Favorite Backyard Wildlife - Softcover

George Harrison and his wife, Kit, live in Hubertus, Wisconsin.

The Harrisons have watched the wildlife in their own Wisconsin backyard and set down their keen observations. Commonly seen are chipmunks, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, white-footed mice, opossums, woodchucks, toads, rabbits, box turtles, deer, butterflies, and songbirds. They describe each of the animals, noting favored habitats, habits and food, family life, etc., and adding a bit on the animals' relatives in other parts of the country. The tiger swallowtail rates a chapter of its own. Backyard birds are lumped together in another. For more information on birds, readers should consult the Harrisons' America's Favorite Backyard Birds ( LJ 11/1/83). Both books are written in a breezy, popular style suited to young people and amateur naturalists. Evelyn G. Callaway, California Native Plant Soc., Ridgecrest
