I bought this book as a zoology study for my kids. It is written in story form and therefore I read it straight to my kids. They absolutely loved it. It is much more than just a zoology book.

We did two blocks, part one was a four week block and part two a three week block, using this book. If you are interested, contact me and I will give you my lesson plans for this.
