M loved this, and the photos were great.

This was a really cute informational book. It kept me engaged, which means it would keep the kiddos engaged. It was also very informative for it being a children's book. This is a good book to utilize in the classroom.

This book is beautifully layered for early readers. It can be used to teach the foundations of research and non-fiction texts with its table of contents, glossary, and index. For younger kids with shorter attention spans, you can read just the bolded text. For more engaged and older students, you can read the short paragraph on each pair of pages. And, the photographs are wonderful -- close-up, detailed, and carefully related to the corresponding text. This is a GREAT beginning non-fiction text. (I use it with my classroom of 2-5 year olds.)
