Personal Reaction:
I thoroughly enjoyed this book because it was detailed while also retaining only the important details of animals that hide. The books covers why a variety of animals hide and how each one utilizes its hiding spot. I found the book very interesting with its professional photographs that accompany the text and I even did further research on some of the animals just out of curiosity. Males in an elementary school with most definitely enjoy this book!
Purpose/Use in Curriculum:
This would be book for a science unit on animal habitats and the ecosystem, a biological community of interacting organisms in their physical environment. I would most likely prefer to have my students use this book as an independent read or literature circle book because a teacher could make a variety of different lessons that branch off what this book is about. Some nonfiction conventions that are included in this book are captions, glossary, and a report guide that is a great tool to utilize. This tool specifically assists the reader in how to write a report with particular steps.
