Gophers are known for their puffy faces. They often stuff food into their cheek pouches and carry it back to their burrows. Young children will enjoy learning how gophers gather food and dig vast underground tunnels.
I think that this book and others like it in the series are great for younger school aged kids. We have used these in the first and second grade classroom to help with their "first" research book reports. There is not too much information where the child will be overwhelmed and the information isn't silly either. I think that these books are great for beginner readers. These are also AR books for anyone who might want to know. I would recommend these books to others.
