Summary: Great resource
Review: I've been building my library of wildlife gardening books and this one is definitely an integral part of it. One thing I especially like is the tables - for example there's one on common backyard insects and spiders - it tells what they are (e.g. crickets) then what their needs are (e.g. sunny locationwith loose cover) and then what's so neat about them (e.g. chorus on warm summer evenings). The book is broken out into sections such as Gardens for butterflies and bugs, gardens for small mammals, reptiles and amphibians; and then there are specific seasonal gardens for birds. There's even a chapter on wildlife for apartment dwellers. There are plans for building bird houses, setting up ponds etc. Very complete and lots of good clear writing.

Summary: A great resource
Review: This handy little book provides information on creating habitat and attracting creatures of many types. Everything from birds to grasshoppers is covered in this book. Info is provided on creating ponds for frogs, dragonflies and damselfies, the construction of boxes for cavity-nesting songbirds, as well as neat little tidbits of info that are hard to find-like how to attract sphinx (hawk) moths, flying squirrels, and garter snakes.
