Suburban Safari : A Year on the Lawn
janisbeth avatar reviewed on + 34 more book reviews


A delightful, thoughtful description of the author's year spent studying her own yard in suburban Maine. Not just a "nature book"Ms. Holmes is very aware of the ways human activity affect the wildlife in her perview, and while she offers little in the way of solutions, she does help open our eyes to the larger problems caused by burgeoning humanity. Her beloved crow family and Cheeky the chipmunk are described with humor and loving sympathy.

I recommend this book for anyone who has a yard.
