Explore Nature Through Reading

By Donna Smith

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

What's it like to be a frog living in a pond? One frog decides to keep a journal of his life with a little help by author Steve Parker and the result is It's a Frog's Life.

The journal begins in early spring when it's nice and warm for the frog, and ends in winter, when the frog must bury himself in the soil. The frog's entries, photos and words will entertain as well as educate preschoolers up to school-age children. Muddy footprints left by the frog add an interesting touch and are sure to be hunted for by the reader.

In the end, the frog introduces some of his friends: a red-eyed tree frog, a water-holding frog, a "squeaker" from Africa, a poison dart frog and the American Bullfrog. A glossary of terms will help children learn more about the frog's life in the pond.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
By Nicholas Harris

Now children can go someplace they never could before the center of the Earth! Read this book with your child and take a trip together like no other.

Start by learning about the "watery planet." Then, slowly you'll make your way to the center, or "inner core," of the Earth. With clever cut-outs and unfolding pages, children actually journey through the book. Facts are presented in easy-to-understand language, and a glossary provides a list of words to learn. The full-color pictures illustrate the journey beautifully, and are out of tis world!
