Brief Summary: This book is about a tree- it's life cycle and decomposition process. It is called Log Hotel because it provides a home for many organisms and animals. In the book, there are several pictures showing which organisms and animals live in the log at different times.
How it would be used in a classroom setting: This would be helpful when doing a lesson over ecosystems and different relationships within an ecosystem like the one mentioned in the book. I think this book would help students make connections between plants and animals as far as how they work together.
