I few years ago, when I was substituting for a first grade
class, I was ask to read this book to the class. I had never read it before,
but it was one I really enjoyed reading
to the kids.This book is about a boy who learns to take a closer look at the
different things found on the ground. He saw things such as worms, moles ants,
grass and mud.
The illustrations in this book
are created using a computer software.
The pictures show an up close view at the different things on the ground. The
illustrations are also very colorful.
This book is great for children who are emerging readers. One way to use this book in the classroom is when discussing rhyming words. Many of the words in this book rhyme such as around and ground. The sentences in this book are very small and use a good bit of repetition, which is great for young kids. Another use of this book in the classroom is when discussing things that you would find outside. Many of the animals and things discussed in the book are everyday things that usually can be found in our own backyard. This book is also great for building vocabulary. It even has a word list located in the back of the book. This book has not received any awards.
