Reviews
“The series was designed to teach children to appreciate the environment and inspire them to take up an environmental project of their own…. he (Dr. Suzuki) does a good job engaging the kids in the film. …. the documentary deserves kudos for its empowering message: children really can do something about the world around them…. this episode not only has a terrific message –that a fun filled nature expedition lies just outside the doorstep — but also it’s chock-full of interesting tidbits about the insects and plants that are found in a typical urban environment. This program is sure to inspire children to go exploring in their own backyards.” -Children’s Video Report
“As a parent I’m certain that children have a natural affinity with nature. They are thrilled and enchanted by plants and animals. And as a biologist I’m sure that this makes sense. This new series is designed to stimulate a child to carry out projects after viewing.” -Dr. David Suzuki
