This is a really fun book that teaches children how life begins inside an egg. All different kinds of living creatures start in an egg form. This is just a fun book that teaches children how a bunch of different animals start there life. The kids get to guess what will hatch on each page. There is a robin and a platypus and it just shows that every animals starts off in the same place.

I like this book. I think it is different from other informational text. It doesn’t show letters or numbers or even animals. It shows how animals start their life off. Even though they are different animals, their lives start off the same way. The illustrations are really cute and fun. I think it’s a fun way to learn! I give it a 10.

This book teaches kids about birds. They teach them different kinds of birds. The book talks about canaries, lovebirds, doves etc. The book teaches about their colors and what they eat and how long they live. The book also talks about how each bird behaves differently. At the end, there is a fun puzzle with questions and answers which will be fun for kids to do.

I just like this book because the information is great. They put it in good terms for children to understand. I like the way the information is arranged on the page. I just think it is a cute and colorful book and it is a fun way for children to learn. I give the book an 8 out of 10.

The Hospital

Author: Janine Amos

Publisher: Gareth Stevens Publishing

Date: 2002

ISBN: 0-8368-3091-1

This book is all about the hospital and how kids cope with being in the hospital and being away from loved ones. It shows them how to deal with their feelings and being lonely. It just shows them what to do with emergency situations by providing advice and showing children that it is important to ask questions when they are unsure of something.

I actually really like this book. It may not be the most exciting out of all the informational texts out there. I like it because it addresses hard issues like when people are sick or have an emergency operation in the hospital. It is nice how they provide insight on this hard topic to children. I give this an 8 out of 10.

  1. I agree with you that the Hospital book might be very useful for easing students' fears if they are concerned about an upcoming surgery. Sometimes it is helpful to know what kinds of things might happen or might be seen before going into a new situation.
