Imaginative with fun illustrations.

A story about a little boy who finds a salamander and wants to keep it in his room. Or maybe he just wants his room to be outside. A good book for teaching about nature. ( )

After a boy catches a salamander he is asked how he will give him all of the things he needs in his room. As he explains he slowly begins to visualize his whole room turning into a forest. With beautiful imagery in text it is a great book for teaching visualizing.

Ages: 3-6
This story is a wonderful book to get Children to use their imaginations to picture as the little boy's room transforms from his bedroom into a forest!

I would use this book for a lesson on visualizing because the story is filled with imagery. The author does a great job of building on ideas with answers to questions the mother poses for a perfect home for his new salamander friend. Children will be able to visualize the perfect home for a wild animal based on their knowledge of habitats.
