    "More Than Just A Kids Book"

    "Simple enough for my 7-year-old, but half these jobs I had no idea about myself. Way more packed than I expected for the price."

    Nature Shouldn't Feel This Boring

    Most kids walk past worms, bees, spiders and birds every day without anyone stopping to explain what they actually do.

    The problem isn't that kids don't care about nature. It's that it's usually taught with dry facts, long names and zero fun.

    The Secret Jobs of Backyard Creatures gives 50 creatures a real job, a joke and a hidden picture to find, so kids actually remember them.
