Animals (Everyday Science (Gareth Stevens)) (edition 2003)

Riley's book gives the reader an overview of all the different animals classes. The class of animal is introduced and discussed on how all members of the class are alike. At the end of each chapter a question is asked that could relate a new class to the previous class but the new chapter then shows the differences between that class and the previous classes. This book is good for building vocabulary in the lower grade levels.
I could use this book in my class to reintroduce the different classes of animals and how they are different from each other. The students have been introduced to these things in lower grades, but it is always good to do a short reminder for them. ( )
