I want to tell you about a great book to read!

The title of the book I chose  is The World of Dinosaurs Big and Small   by Maya Ray.

I chose this book because I’ve been doing a lot of research on dinosaurs for my unit plan and I found that there are so many great details about all kinds of different dinosaurs such as, what they eat, what they are called,  how big they are, and fun facts. 

This book is about all different kinds of dinosaurs. In the book, it tells what each dinosaur name means. It tells about the size of each dinosaur, what they eat, and fun facts about each dinosaur. Some fun facts include, why their bodies are the shape that they are, or what they were best known for. This book is so interesting and will be great to use when teaching or learning about dinosaurs. 

 

I hope you enjoy this great read!

I want to help you discover how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly!

The book I chose to share with you is titled Caterpillar to Butterfly and was written by Laura Marsh.

The reason I chose this book is because we have been studying lifecycles in the classroom and I felt it would be a great tool for engaging students and helping them to visualize how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. This book is full of beautiful photo, it lists many interesting facts, and introduces grade level specific vocabulary words.

The details of this book include photographs of various butterfly species, specific facts about how they lay eggs, and information about how the eggs hatch and what various caterpillars emerge. The book goes on to describe foods eaten by caterpillars, the creation and stages of a chrysalis, and how butterflies emerge and mature.  I love that the book describes the anatomy of different butterflies and that it explains the important ways in which markings and spots protect them from predators. I feel 
that this book can be a very useful tool for introducing lifecycles or continuing to teach about them for kindergarten or first grade students. 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! ]]> 2018-02-04 23:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/allthingsbeautifuldotson/37pbfvcj0r2v/wish/227924539 Non-Fiction Text Websites allthingsbeautifuldotson https://padlet.com/allthingsbeautifuldotson/37pbfvcj0r2v/wish/227928699 Kids Discover
