Award-winning CURIOUS CRITTERS (Wild Iris Publishing; ISBN: 9781936607693; 32 pages; illustrated; $19.95; Ages 4-8; hardcover; Juvenile Non-Fiction: Animals/Nature) presents stunning images of everyday animals, including a red flat bark beetle, an Eastern spiny softshell turtle, a spotted salamander, and many other intriguing creatures. Along with each photo is a vignette—told from the critter’s perspective—that educates and entertains. For example, a bush katydid explains her bubblegum-pink color, a poetic opossum opines upon her often-shortened name, and a far-from-modest black swallowtail butterfly lets readers in on her secret for avoiding predators.
When parents read CURIOUS CRITTERS with their kids not only will they have fun, but they also inspire in them a life-long interest in nature. Kids will want to swap TV and video games for a trips to the park or more time in the backyard. So, get ready to have a budding biologist on your hands!
CURIOUS CRITTERS teaches students about science according to standards developed by National Research Council and the National Committee on Science Education Standards and Assessment, used by states in establishing guidelines for science education. CURIOUS CRITTERS helps children acquire scientific literacy by addressing all Life Sciences standards.
