December 13, 2021Set up as a series of multiple choice questions, Whose Home is This? would be a great book to start longer conversations about animals and their quirks.
Not all of the animals featured are the standard creatures found in children's books, which will encourage kids to dig deeper and do some investigating of their own.
A solid read either for the classroom or for inquisitive children at home.

STAR REVIEW! Whose Home Is This?, is an easily read and understood book that describes the habitats of animals. The book describes an animal’s home and then provides several picture options so that the reader can select the animal that lives in that particular dwelling. In addition to the picture options, the names of these animals are also provided, which enables the reader to learn about new animals. There are “Hints” included on each page that aid the reader in identifying the correct animal, while at the same time offering additional information about the animal. This book is most useful for readers in grades 1 and 2. The vocabulary is not too advanced and the pictures are interesting enough to hold the reader’s attention.
