my 6 year old son loves this series. i read to my son every night before going to sleep. he chooses the book. since we started on getting books in this series, they are a frequent choice. we have several and will get the rest. it is a fun, easy way to teach some basic ideas.

These are the best series!

LOVE these books. They have the best information in the them! Actually as adults it is a good reminder to help you guide your children through the first grades. Information in them are actually asked in adult board trivia games. Can't say enough about this series. We bought them all.

Science in Rhyme

What a wonderful way to learn the definition of a mammal! Fun reading in itself, it is also packed with helpful information.

Educational and Entertaining

My children, ages 5 and 3, and I love this Dr. Seuss style educational book. It is filled with lots of facts about mammals and distinguishs between mammals and non-mammals. The beginning of the book tells the reader that mammals breathe air, are warm to the touch and grow hair. The rest of the book illustrates these three characteristics. I particularily liked the page which shows that mammals can live in different types of environments, "Mammals live on cold mountains and hot, burning sand, down deep in the oceans or out on dry land." The ending is delightful as the child learns that she is a mammal, too. Finally, I enjoyed this book because it included a glossary of terms and suggestions for further reading on the subject of mammals.
