Negative Positive
Title: An inspiration for science and social studies in the classroom!
Review: While previewing the book prior to reading it to my first grade class, I was a little skeptical that my students would appreciate it, since English is the second language for all of them. My concerns were unfounded. While some of the more complex vocabulary words required explanation, students were captivated by the pictures and story. Each page offers the opportunity for discussion and learning. They were disappointed when time ran out and we were unable to finish the book in one reading. This book is a great springboard for a social studies unit on social action or geography and a science unit on hippos or tortises.
