The tall grass in almost any suburban or country backyard is a complete zoo of small animals—if one knows how to look. And this book tells, in simple language and colorful, detailed, and exciting pictures, all about those animals.

Here is how the author himself feels about this easy-to-read, unusual "first" book of natural science: "We think of it as a book that will give children a first look into the microcosm that is all around them, into a world full of marvelously wrought details like the great springs in the hind legs of the grasshopper."

The manuscript for The Tall Grass Zoo was checked by a Natural History expert who said: "It is a delight, and I appreciate the opportunity to read it."
