Description

How do bedbugs get into your home? Why are some grey squirrels black? Does goldenrod cause hay fever?

Naturalist and artist Peggy Kochanoff answers these questions and more in this illustrated guide to solving nature mysteries in the city.

From the author of Silver Birch-nominated Be a Nature Detective series comes a new adventure full of fascinating facts and original watercolours. From scuttling cockroaches to waves of starlings to burdock heads on your clothes, Kochanoff takes the reader through city streets to show them the amazing nature growing there. Features a glossary, identification page, and further reading.

Review

"Nicely rendered watercolor illustrations, with inserts for close-up details, add plenty of visual appeal." —Canadian Review of Materials (Winnipeg, MB) Published On: 2018-10-19

"This book is highly recommended for public and school libraries. The book is a good resource for families with young children to use on simple outings within their community. Educators as well can use this book for exploration within the school yard as well as class walks through the local community." —Resource Links (Pouch Cove, NF)
