 | An excellent part of a wonderful series. Feb 10, 2009 |
I can't praise these books highly enough; the illustrations are very appealing, the text is clear and simple without being babyish, and the layout is inviting.
Each double page spread features a charming picture of a particular marsupial on the right side, and a clean white page with anywhere from one word to one sentence describing an attribute of the marsupial pictured that also applies to other, sometimes all marsupials.
The simple text and layout make the book appealing as a read-aloud text for toddlers and preschoolers (my almost 3 yr. old loves this series) as well as an excellent choice for emerging readers.
It can be difficult to find high-quality nonfiction texts for the preschool and early elementary crowd, but this book and it's companions are a perfect choice. My 8 yr. old, who struggles with reading, enjoys these because they are within his grasp but are not oversimplified or dull.
At the end of the book are a few pages with thumbnails of each illustration accompanied by slightly more in-depth information about each animal. I read just a few of these at a time to my 3 yr. old, to match his comprehension and attention span; they are a very nice 'bonus' to an aleady delightful book. Very highly recommended. | | | | Informative and entertaining picture-book format non-fiction Aug 12, 2006 |
| The 10th in a series of "About...A Guide for Children" books, ABOUT MARSUPIALS is a representative example of this terrific series. The "About...A Guide for Children" books are great nonfiction titles for the preK - 2nd grade set, each focusing on one type of animal (marsupials, mammals, birds, reptiles). The books are laid out in two-page spreads, eaching providing a very brief fact (for example, "Some marsupials do not have a pouch") and a beautifully detailed illustration of a specific type of animal. The large colorful pictures and the brief text make these terrific nonfiction additions to storytime and other read-aloud activities. | | | Write your own review about About Marsupials: A Guide for Children (About...)
