Overview

Do you want to help the earth? You can start in your own backyard! Learn about important bees, birds, butterflies, and bats-and the special plants that keep them alive.  With stunning illustrations by a NY Times bestselling illustrator.

Bees need pollen and nectar from flowers. But not all flowers feed all bees. Some bees need long, narrow flowers. Some bees need short flowers. Some tiny  bees can't fly far and need flowers that are nearby. Some bees can take pollen from only one particular kind of flower. Those bees are in trouble if that flower isn't available to them. Flies, wasps, beetles, bats, birds, and butterflies need flowers too. 

This book is about amazing animals and plants that are native to North America, how they need each other to survive, and how you can help them. 

Back matter has information about how you can grow your own pollinator garden, as well as a glossary, bibliography, and index. 

An excellent choice for parents and educators looking for books that provide content knowledge (background knowledge) about the natural world to support reading comprehension.
