Children may think they don't live near wild animals, but busy creatures are as near to them as their own backyards or neighborhood parks! And a trip to a zoo or drive-thru safari park becomes an adventure when large animals can be seen up close. This issue invites kids to learn about everyday animals like chipmunks, birds, insects, and raccoons. And they can also discover some very unusual animals, like the rhinoceros hornbill and tree kangaroo! They'll explore Yellowstone National Park and see the large animals that roam freely there. Fascinating facts, animal puzzles, a super science experiment, a drawing lesson, great photography and illustrations, and more lets kids get Up Close to Nature!
