“Planet Earth: What planet are you on?”
1. Twin Text: Tales from India by Jamila Gavin, @2011
2. I chose to use a fiction story full of Hindu myths as my twin text because it explains how various things on Earth were formed, and students enjoy hearing stories about how things came to be and my nonfiction book is about Planet Earth and all of its features. The dialogue within the story helps the reader keep interest in what is happening and the “gods” that made things happen. In m ...more

An enjoyable way to learn about features of the Earth. Kiddo enjoyed it and thought it was a good bedtime story (though they were concerned about rift valleys). Some of the puns went over their head and make the text a bit convoluted but had a lot of good information too.
This is another brilliant book from the Basher team. These books are engaging, informative, easy-to-read, and entertaining. Pretty much everything you would want in a book for third graders.
I learned a lot more about our planet.
Non-fiction told in an entertaining and imaginative way. This book from the Basher series outlines the development of Earth and its weather systems. It is helpful because it explains longitude and latitude. Each topic gets a page with information and several fun facts, plus there is a cute picture of that topic anthropomorphized. Book that is good for the short attention span and those kids who don't like fiction. For third grade and up.

This is a great book about Earth. There are some really cute characters in it. It explains things in ways that students would be able to understand. It is a little advanced, so I would not use it to introduce concepts, but definitely to reinforce or to elaborate on certain topics.
I liked this book because it taught me about things I've never heard of before. Also things that I knew of, but facts about them that identified more about it. Another reason I liked it was because it taught in a way that made alot of sense.
