Loading... Island Grows, Anby Lola M. Schaefer
None. This is the story of the start of an island from the first red-hot glow of magma at the bottom of the ocean to the flowing lava that hardens and builds up higher and higher until it breaks through the water′s surface. Then, life comes to the island. First come the small plants and animals, and then later people. Volcanos was one of my favorite topics in science growing up; I found them fascinating. Retelling: This books takes a rhyming jaunt through the birth of an island, from its infancy as lava on the sea floor to its eventual role as a home for human beings, plants, and animals. Thoughts and Feelings: It's hard to find good nonfiction that is accessible to a kindergarten audience. This is a good find. I liked this book. It went through the little stages of how an island is formed, and very basically instilled the idea's we now learn in Earth Science. Cut paper illustrations follow the development of an island from magma flow, through the coming of plants, insects, animals and people. no reviews | add a review
