Using Fictional Stories as a Pathway to Science Content
This picture book has so much to offer: rhyme and song, counting, repetitive text, seek and find/hidden images, AND the names of animal offspring: for example, a squirrel has “kits”…did you know that? I didn’t.
The back of the book also is a wealth of knowledge and resources with a review of what is fact and what is fiction about the story, the forest habitat, more information about both the featured animals and the hidden ones, the tune to the song, and suggestions from both the author and illustrator, which really extends the interactive nature of this already interactive book. 🙂
