PETERSON FIRST GUIDE TO URBAN WILDLIFE ...
PETERSON FIRST GUIDE TO URBAN WILDLIFE written and illustrated by Sarah B. Landry (Houghton Mifflin: $4.95; 128 pp., paperback original). Landry takes an unusual approach in the latest entry in this popular series, introducing the various types of life on earth (animals, plants, viruses, bacteria, fungi, protoctists). Building from this basic information, she introduces some of the creatures that have adapted to life in American cities, both the familiar (rabbits, skunks, frogs, ants) and the lesser-known (minks, Luna moths, biting mites).
