This book is filled with facts about Octopuses. And is super informative to what they do as animals. I would use this in first or second grade just because I think that is when kids are developing their sense of what they like to read and how long they will give something the time of day. Along with that I would just have it on the shelves so even if they aren't wanting to read it they are able to look at the pretty pictures.
This book is great for 4-5th graders because it is a little more advanced of a picture book. This book is laid out kind of like a textbook, it is very informational and shows diagrams and pictures to go along with text that include facts and different information all about octopuses. This could be used in a class to learn about animals and sea life. Because of its textbook feel it could also get students comfortable with more texts like this and be able to jump up to more advanced readings.
1st-3rd grade
This book studies various kinds of octopus, giving fun facts and scientific identifiers of the different species. This would be a great tool for a science lesson or to have in the classroom for kids to look at. The author uses descriptions and definitions to create an informative story.
This book would be good for primary and intermediate ages. This book is about everything you need to know about octopuses. It talks about all the different species and their features. This would be great in the classroom for students to explore more about octopuses and the different types of species.
All about octopuses! I would use this for 3-5 graders learning about animals!
The age range would be 3rd-5th grade. This book is all about octopuses and the many types there are, what they eat, where they live, etc. This book would be good for a unit on the sea.
