Backyard Beasties

From the author of Backyard Birds and Backyard Bugs, Helen Milroy’s latest picture book, Backyard Beasties, is designed to teach us all about the croaking, barking, screeching, mewling creatures that share our homes. From beastie besties, like the Pomeranian and the pussycat, to clucking chickens and licking lizards, the jewel-like illustrations will make this book a joy to share.
