review: Editorial Reviews Review " As a classroom teacher, I was impressed with many aspects of this book, which is perfect for research reports because it has beautiful photographs and interesting morsels of information. The graphic design of the contents page, on which the page numbers are in bubbles, is interesting and inviting. The map and diagram were excellent ideas and are perfect for this text, and the glossary, with challenging vocabulary words and easy-to-understand definitions, was an excellent and crucial addition. Text boxes are highlighted with a different font and print color, and there are many suggestions for further reading. This book would be great for a classroom read-aloud. The colorful photographs, entertaining information, and print size allow it to be used in both small- and large-group settings. The text is interactive, asking readers questions throughout. Kids will love the roadrunner eating the iguana and the iguana devouring a cactus. It's a perfect book for group discussions because there are questions throughout. The lightning bolt at the top of a page warns readers that a new idea will be discussed. In summary, this book has many excellent uses - as an easy read for a child, a great read-aloud for teachers to supplement a unit of study, an entertaining book to read independently, and/or a useful book for a research report for an early childhood reader. " -- NSTA About the Author Judith Jango-Cohen's career began in the classroom, where she created lessons to excite her students' interest in science. Eleven years later, after the birth of her two children, she turned to writing full time. Her adventures as a naturalist and photographer have inspired her forty-two books, which cover an assortment of subjects from Bionics to Ben Franklin and from ladybugs to librarians. Besides researching and writing books, Judith also writes science news stories for Scholastic classroom magazines. As a former teacher, Judith loves visiting classrooms and libraries to share her stories as a writer/photographer and to help children learn to express themselves through poetry and prose. She also enjoys meeting teachers and librarians when she presents programs at conferences. Judith's titles have been selected for the Children's Choices Reading List by the IRA/CBC, recommended by the National Science Teacher’s Association, chosen for the Children's Literature Choice List, named a Notable Social Studies Trade Book by the NCSS/CBC, and selected as Best Children's Books of the Year by the Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College.
