Not even acceptable!!!
Published by Teacher Tabi , 1 year ago
This was supposed to be a very good book but it had writing in permanent marker on the cover and on every page in the book!!! Unfortunately it was only acceptable for the recycling bin! Waste of my $6!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I'm pleased with it. The subject matter hasn't totally clicked for my young daughter but it's just a matter of time before we read this book and she truly starts to catch on. I recommend the book, my 2 year old enjoys this one.
Really great for teaching Preschool Science.

One of the better "Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1" series. Although I hate to recommend a book that doesn't really show you what's inside when it advertises "Search Inside."
A must-have for elementary science teachers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is excellent at explaining and illustrating what is alive. It uses simple language and examples to let young children understand what things are living or non living. The information is age appropriate for elementary school children, but can be modified for younger children.
A primary teacher's "must have" book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I am an elementary school librarian and this book addresses one of the basic questions asked by Kinders and First Graders. I bought two for the library and our primary teachers are now ordering their own. Can't lose on this one.
Very useful

Living things eat, drink, sleep and grow - a simple explanation with examples that will appeal to most small children (e.g. cats, dogs, birds). Living things also die, and this is touched upon very briefly. I am always looking for books to assist me in homeschooling my 5 yr old son, and it's difficult to find educational books that don't bore or beat a topic into the ground. This was a satisfying choice.
