Description
Delightful living science book introduces children to various insects, and plant and animal life by ecosystem and similar characteristics. For example, the chapter on milk and animals that feed it to their young weaves together cows, rabbits, bats, the whale, tigers, the black bear and more. Chapters offer so much more than scientific characteristic and detail, so children are taken on a journey through the science with narrative and poetry, making this a charming read-aloud for families. Quaint black and white illustrations are fitting for this 1932 reproduction, although some appear blurry making finer detail challenging to see. It would be helpful to have a supplemental science encyclopedia or the internet handy to allow students to view relevant full-color photographs or images. ~Deanne
