Classroom Implications: This makes a wonderful read aloud for first-fourth grade classrooms studying ecosystems. It is especially hard to find a specific science-based book for primary grades. This book solves that problem! It combines poetry and a content-area story, and manages to include delightful images worthy enough for the Caldecott. This text would pair nicely with Fleishman's Joyful Noise: Poems in Two Voices due to the similarity in both poetry and science.
This is a working annotated bibliographic list of children's and young adult books. It is intended for this list to grow as my exposure to new texts expands.
A note about organization: Each book has several "tags" attached to it. This design accomodates different search purposes and is a way to purposefully peruse the list.
