This book is about a curious boy who looks under a rock to find a whole world of bugs and insects! This would be a good book to read to students if they were looking for more information about bugs. I myself found it boring but I'm not into bugs, however, this is a good book with tons of information.
In One Tidepool: Crabs, Snails, and Salty Tails (Sharing Nature With Children Book) by Anthony D. Fredericks
What cute and beautiful book! This rhyming style text builds on itself as you progress through story. Great vocab and illustrations!! Contains a letter to the readers and a feature glossary with all the animals in the book. I would use this book to teach rhyming, seashore exploration and discovering tidepools. Grades 2-5
Under One Rock: Bugs, Slugs, and Other Ughs (Sharing Nature With Children Book) by Anthony D. Fredericks
Under One Rock is a cumulative informational book that details a small child's findings when he lifts a rock.
This is an interesting book with a great deal of information included on the insects and worms found in nature. The cumulative nature of the text draws children into the story and allows predictability for early readers. The author's notes, glossary, and publisher information in the back of the book provides a fantastic classroom or parent resource.
As a nature lover and a mother who show more believes children today are suffering from nature deficit disorder, I am so thankful to have added this book to my library. It is a wonderful example of the science that occurs around us at any given moment. If we just slow down for a moment, we may witness some of the wonders of the natural world.
As a classroom extension, consider placing a large rock on the playground then observing the changes under the rock for several months. The grass will die, insects may inhabit the sheltered space, earthworms may be observed, etc. In addition, a nature walk may reveal many other small ecosystems in unexpected locations. If you are looking for a naturalist title or a book to inspire the exploration of nature, this is a good start! show less

This nature book is absolutely gorgeous. I love the opening line 'Dear Humans'. Yes, I want to explore this forest. And I want to be friends with all these animals. This rhyming book is a must read. It is inspiring as well as educational. Reviewed ARC for Net Galley.
