Wild Next Door

Your backyard is buzzing―meet the wild, weird, wonderful neighbours you never noticed. Grab your explorer hat and magnifying glass―your home and garden are packed with tiny oddballs and mighty misfits! Meet porch-loving hornets, wall-munching termites, shiny skinks sunbathing, poop-rolling beetles, glowing fireflies, rainbow-coloured guppies and even a fish that seems to know how to walk. Some of these critters work hard, some are champion nappers, some have long sticky tongues, and some can smell your breath before dropping by for a tiny sip of blood. You'll also discover earthworms with many hearts, a bird that keeps a ridiculously messy nest and a flatworm that can grow back if it's cut in half. Funny, fascinating and full of surprises, this is your ticket to the secret world of creatures living right beside you.
