Customer Reviews

Great for teaching a science lesson or lesson on "legends."

I read and used this book for my college Language Arts class. I used it for a 5th grade lesson, as an example of a legend, but it could also be used to teach a science lesson. The pictures are realistic and beautiful. My fellow classmates thought it was a great book too.
