Hey Heather, Thanks for the idea of the activity book…I will add it to the presentation for the kid’s eco-enrichment center project. Let{s hope they will get excited about that new space…
I would like to use it for the RIF Book Distribution Day. The theme is Marine Animals and our students are 97% Hispanic. Thank you
You’ll want to invite your readers to compose comments and solutions. This book is definitely not just for kids and makes you think.
I like that you include some of the sounds that the animals make.
