This was part of our nature/science studies for BYL1 and I loved it! There was good information and fantastic illustrations that kept our attention. I wish we had found a square in our yard that was so interesting!

Great non fiction text for grades 3-5 that could be used for an ecology unit. It includes some experiments and activities. There are more in this series.

I read this with my 9-year-old son. He loved it. We did a lot of the projects in it and had a blast.

Great explanation of what is in the backyard. Excellent illustrations.

[Erin Boyle]

Excellent nature reader, with accompanying activities or encouragements of what to draw. We loved this!

[Becca Tillotson]

A good nature study resource for young ones!

Um livro maravilhoso. Carlos Fiolhais em Livros para Gostar de Ciências (1999) escreveu o seguinte: «Tradução de um livro da nova série infantil da Freeman, a editora dos livros da “Scientific American". Livro rigoroso, cuja ideia básica consiste em descobrir os pormenores fascinantes de um pequeno quadrado de terra no quintal. A atenção pelos pormenores é precisamente um dos princípios da ciência… Está anunciado “Um Quadradinho à Beira Mar.»
Infelizmente não se publicaram mais "quadradinhos" e este está esgotadíssimo.

While this states it is for young readers, I found it fascinating. Perhaps it is because I was once trained as a nature guide at a refuge. We also have a vegetable and a flower garden so there was a lot that was applicable to read, the illustrations were great for sketch pads.
