Backyard Critters and Creatures is now available as a Storybook Walk experience through a special partnership with storybookwalk.com, bringing this beloved nature book off the page and into the outdoors. By combining early literacy with movement and discovery, the Storybook Walk format invites children and families to read, walk, and explore together, turning a simple stroll into an engaging learning adventure rooted in curiosity about the natural world just beyond their doorstep.

​

Why a Storybook Walk?

Storybook walks encourage active learning, spark conversation, and foster a deeper connection to nature by blending reading with physical activity. As pages are placed along a walking path, trail, or park, children are motivated to keep moving, keep reading, and keep asking questions. This format supports literacy development, outdoor engagement, and family participation, all while making learning joyful and accessible.

​
