Age of Child: Shared with a third grade class.

Little Kid Reaction: My friend used this with her students as an introduction to a nature unit and they enjoyed it. Many of them asked to check the book out after she read it aloud to them.

Big Kid Reaction: I liked the question and answer format. The color photos and illustrations were excellent

Pros: Beautiful pictures and familiar characters will grab young readers' interests.

Cons: Keep in mind that this is only an introduction to nature so there’s much to be done after one gets an overview of the subject. Hopefully this will make the reader want to learn much, much more about all the topics introduced here.
