(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christina Wald. "Let's spy in the backyard... / maples stretch, / bumblebees bump..." This simple introduction to habitats features over a dozen, including swamp, desert, mountain, and ocean. Bright realistic illustrations are accessible and engaging. The brief rhyming text is sometimes clever ("otters flip") and sometimes forced ("deer stride"); overall there's not much information imparted. Back matter delves deeper and suggests activities.
