As concern for the welfare of species like honey bees and monarch butterflies grows alongside awareness of the impact of climate change, inspiring the next generation of citizen scientists is more important than ever. With Wildlife Ranger Action Guide, kids can make the world better for the animals and insects they love, starting right in their own backyards. Dozens of hands-on activities and habitat creation projects, such as making a frog pond from a kiddie pool, planting a pollinator garden for bees, painting a bat house, and building a lodge for lizards, encourage children to learn about and take an active role in protecting local wildlife. Lively photographic field guides covering 78 North American wildlife species teach kids about the habits and habitats of each and include tips for providing the plants and food needed for their survival.

      Gr 3-6-This action guide encourages children to set up their own wildlife preserve in their backyard. The text covers animals found in North America, primarily focusing on the United States. Readers are advised to create and keep a notebook listing all the backyard wildlife they observe. The first chapter explains how to use the book, how to set up a blind observation, and how to use the observation notebook. Each chapter describes members of the animal kingdom: insects, mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. Chapters contain field guides for common representatives of each animal. The field guides describe facts about a specific animal, dietary habits, and habitats. Several experiments or crafts to replicate are provided. These activities would make great programs for libraries. Back matter includes a glossary and a list of further resources (websites, books, and apps). Front matter features a table of contents. The book is very colorful and showcases a mix of photographs and wildlife drawings. VERDICT A book full of fun, educational activities. Highly recommended for all libraries.-Kristin Joy Anderson, Lewis University, Romeoville, IL
