Brief Summary: This is a book telling about nature from the perspective of a young child. The book include caterpillars and humming birds. It tells a little information about each thing mentioned in the book. Everything rhymes and the pictures are beautiful.
Used in the Classroom: This book would be great for lower levels. The pictures will really capture the students' attention. The words rhyme, so the book is a lot of fun to read. The words are huge and everything is kind of exaggerated. This would be great to introduce a larger concept related to science in some way. This would be a great book to read and then to ask students to create some form of representation or presentation to explain what they have learned.
