Something for everyone

The great thing about this book is that there is an engaging, funny illustration on one page to set the stage and pique the child's interest, with simple rhyming text, and then on the other page there is a detailed paragraph on the featured critter full of interesting facts, vocabulary, and science concepts. So this book can be used by beginning and more advanced readers. The combination of humor and information is a winning combination for kids. I can see preschoolers and parents reading this book together, and then middle elementary school kids coming back to it later when they are looking for information to write reports.
