we have a new book in our homeschool science curriculum: The World of Animals from Master Books.
this big, beautiful, hardcover book gives us an in-depth look at more than 1,000 animals! in our child-led science lessons, i like to ask Big Girl (2nd grade) and Bubba (preschool) to "choose an animal, any animal," find their selection in The World of Animals, and study all about it: the anatomy, characteristics, and habitats, provide children with an insight into the incredible range of life in God’s wonderful world. i love that this book includes updated information on endangered species and obscure trivia-type animal facts. Big Girl recently studied the Male Frigate Bird, which she found just fascinating:
the pictures in this book are incredible! captivating even the young learners.
The World of Animals is easy to use because the animals are arranged by their scientific classification, and in the back there is a comprehensive glossary for quick reference. i think this book would be fun to read before or after a zoo field trip!
