Publishing company: Dawn Publications
Copyright Date: 2005

Genre/category: picture book
















        I chose this book because it is all about nature and I like being outside. This book is all about the different things you would see in nature. A family is getting ready to go on a hike and the little girl talks about the things she sees and dreams about during the hike . The book discusses things you would see outside such as a river, rocks, leafs, grass, wind, and the forest. It tells what their purposes is such as a rock is an island for a frog.
    
       The illustrations in this story are very rich in detail. Many of them look as if they  are painted with water based paint. The pictures are very colorful and  would stand out to kids.

      This book would be good to use for kids ages three to eight. It would be good to use during a science lesson to introduce nature.  It would also be good to get kids started using their imagination to describe the purpose of things in nature and what they see. Another connection to the classroom would be for children to talk or write about something they have seen outside. The story could also be used for vocabulary comprehension. It also uses a few rhyming words. This book does not have any awards listed.
