Baby Animals Dot-To-Dot

This dot-to-dot activity book is great for kids who are tired or bored with the standard simple dot-to-dot books you can pick up almost anywhere. My 6 year old son likes this one in particular because it focuses on animals, and he likes that the numbers in these dot-to-dots go over 100. Each page features a different animal with facts such as: * Name * Type of Animal * Growing Inside (how the animal develops prior to birth) * Size at birth * Weight at birth * Growing Up (discusses the adult age of the animal) * Where it lives * Sounds it makes * You (this part discusses a fact about a person and one or more features of the particular animal - for instance on the crocodile page, the "You" fact discusses a human's set of adult teeth versus the possible 3,000 sets of teeth that a crocodile may have in a lifetime.) This is an engaging book that the child can return to, even after the dot-to-dot activities are completed. It makes a great coloring book too!

This is a nice book for home or school. Each animal comes with a facts page and a small dot-to-dot at the bottom, and one full size page of a baby animal and it's mother. There are many animals to choose from, making it a nice source for teachers (i.e., unit study, supplement to textbook story, seat work, etc.)or a fun and independent activity for kids stuck inside at home during a rainy day. The pictures are nicely detailed, and I think it would be best for a child 7+ because the numbers are little and plentiful.
