Editorial Reviews:
Product Description What these breathless headlines announce is a growing phenomenon in America: increasing interaction in the suburbs between people and animals that we think of as 'wild'. They have adapted to our takeover of their habitat, and have found ways to survive -- even thrive -- right under our noses. How we react to them and the real and perceived threats they bring is at the core of this book. It teaches the lesson of 'eco-awareness': thinking ahead for the sake of all species. It can be used as the basis for reports and even field work by youngsters learning about the consequences of environmental interactions. Besides that, it is lively and fun to read.

Animals Among UsAugust 24, 2000 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just love this book, it contains very practical information about living with animals in surburban settings. The jacket photo is an extreme example of living with wildlife (a moose standing on top of a car with a woman still inside). Very well written, for children & adults.
The opening chapter, a wildlife tour through surburbia is just facinating. The author's style is uniquely warm & informative with an easy to follow format.
