Description

City Safari invites young explorers to look beyond the concrete and see their city in a whole new light. At first glance, a city block might seem like a gray wasteland—cracked sidewalks, over-trimmed trees, endless buildings. But look a little closer, and a hidden world comes to life.

High above, squirrels nest in tangled treetops. Raptors perch on skyscraper ledges. Pigeons raise chicks on parking garage beams. An owl might be dozing in a hollow tree, and a crevice in a stone wall could be the front door to a rodent’s home. Urban nature is everywhere—if you know how to find it.

Part natural history guide, part adventure manual, City Safari helps middle-grade readers become urban naturalists, developing a sharp eye for wildlife hiding in plain sight. With engaging facts, fieldwork activities, and a fresh perspective on everyday surroundings, this book turns the city into a thrilling wilderness waiting to be discovered.
