Make it. Watch it. Grow it. "Wildlife Gardening" is filled with much knowledge and plenty of fascinating activities. Children that read this book will want to grow plants, build habitats, and find all sorts of animals. Make wildlife feel right at home as you learn how to create their living environment.
This would be a great source for a teacher to use in the classroom. I would use this book to help students understand the life cycle by allowing them to create an environment for a plant or animal and watching it grow as the class takes cares of it. Each student would get a chance to participate in the creation as well as taking care of it. I would alternate between "jobs" (feeding, watering, etc.) each day so the each student would have a chance to help out. Creating and taking care of an environment not only helps demonstrate the life cycle process but also portrays responsibility.
