Just outside your front door is a whole world full of treasures.
All you have to do is look for them.
They are chirping and flying and hopping all around you.
Maybe you will find ten chickadees perched in a tree.
Or maybe you will find six robins pecking in the dirt for worms.
Or three hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower.
Or even a bright red ladybug and a slimy banana slug.
There is so much to discover out in nature--and on every page of this book.
Be patient, open your eyes, and you will spot them all.
