This book would be excellent for introducing the rainforest to third through fifth grade. The vivid pictures throughout the book and descriptions give students an insight on what the rainforest is and what it contains. The first time I read this book I didn't like it. Why? Well, on the first spread there's a rhyming riddle "Look very closely/what do you see?/Sand dunes?/Pussy willow?/What could it be?" and the facing page shows a section of a photograph. You turn the page and the bold heading identifies the photograph, "It's a squirrel monkey" and then gives several paragraphs of information about the subject and the facing page shows a detailed photograph. The first thing that went through my head was that this book was too old and too young. Toddlers who would enjoy the simple riddle rhymes wouldn't sit still for the lengthy informational paragraphs. Elementary-age children who would sit still for the paragraph were going to roll their eyes at the "baby rhymes." Then I realized I was being inflexible and silly, not realizing how very, very useful this book could be with a little adaptation! Toddlers - read the rhymes and let them guess, then turn the page and help them identify the photograph. End of story, everyone has fun! Older kids, don't read the rhymes and just ask them to identify the circled section - then turn the page and read the information. They'll love it! First and second graders love guessing games, if they're not too babyish. Now that I've wrapped my mind around it, this is a gorgeously photographed book that will work equally well for toddler storytime, school visits, and educational use by teachers. I am off to check out the other books in this series! Source: Review copy provided by Kids Can Press through Raab Associates. Verdict: Highly recommended, especially if you work with a range of ages. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Through the magic of close-up photography, the author first asks the reader to identify an object found in a rain forest in a super-close-up picture, with the next page revealing the entire picture. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
