Reviews

[Ashley Fischer]

This book is a great book for talking about spring time and what happens in the spring. We could talk about the seasons and then read this book and talk butterflies. We could talk about the whole process of a caterpillar to a butterfly and how they live. We could use this to start our study on butterflies and then build into other animals (like frogs) in the spring. We could also talk about the rhyme in the book and build into a poetry unit.
