This was about Question words. I'm going to use it at math because when the students write story problems they rarely put the question.

Good pictures and wonderful review in the back.

A good resource for parents and educators wanting to teach question words such as: why? when? where? how? The information presented at the end of the story would best be put in the forward though so children can know what question words they should be looking for while reading.

A Book about Who, what, when, where why. I guess it makes for an interesting English or writing segment, but I didn't have a lot of love for this book. The pictures are cute and I liked that the Beaver had a calendar with the caption "Dams of the World" Where do I purchase this calendar! LOL
