This is the perfect book for teaching young children about animal homes. The author, Laura Purdie Salas, starts by asking fun questions such as, do turtles sleep in treetops, build wax homes or bury themselves in sand? Young children will enjoy trying to guess which animal really lives in each of those places. The answer pages contain all kinds of additional interesting facts about each of the featured animals.The repetition of the question and answer format makes the book very easy to follow. Young children will also love the bright and vivid pictures featured on each page. What a great way to get young children interested in nature and the world around them! Plus, sharing non-fiction books with your child is a great way to introduce new words which will help them build a bigger and better vocabulary.
Best of all, the next time you go on a walk around your neighborhood, you can point out an ant hill, bird nest or a spider web and talk with your child about the creatures that may live in these very interesting places? Think of all the wonderful conversations you and your child will share!
