Backyard Jungle
How long is a giraffe’s tongue? How many muscles does an African elephant’s trunk have? What does a binturong small like? Learn all this and more with Maddie and Albert as they travel through the backyard jungle on the animal adventure of a lifetime.
“Maddie and Albert’s zany encounters with some of Earth’s precious wildlife made me laugh out loud. Kids – and adults – will love Backyard Jungle. The story is witty and hilarious as well as cleverly illustrated in a graphic novel format, which lends itself to the author’s great storytelling talents. As a Zoo person, I appreciate the accuracy of the animal facts, and was thrilled to see a few lesser-known animals, such as a Parson’s chameleon and quokka, included in the fun.”
Georgeanne Irvine, author of the Hope and Inspiration book collection that features true animal tales, published by the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Press.

“What a ride! Maddie and Albert and their beagle pal, Houdini, are the perfect travel guides for this hilarious and delightfully illustrated trip around the world. Their smart and silly adventures made me want to waddle like a blue-footed booby!”
