Goodreads

This charming non-fiction book includes information about the ruby-throated hummingbird, blue whale, earthworm, chipmunk, northern wood frog, bear, moose, red fox, human, mouse, garter snake, and monarch butterfly. The rhyming text makes this a delightful read aloud for younger children. The colorful illustrations enhance the text. Each animal is depicted in a two-page spread. In addition to the rhyming text is a sentence or two in smaller type with more information about each animal. At the end of the book is a section for older readers about survival strategies such as migration, hibernation, and toleration. This information could be used for reports. A glossary is included. I highly recommend this for ages 5-9.                                              Kris Zuidema,  retired school librarian, Standish.
