Summer Book Review - We're Not Weird

Today I'm happy to share with you a very interesting book from Holiday House - We're Not Weird - Structure and Function In the Animal Kingdom by Michael Garland. This is a book which will amaze the children you love - and you, too!

Favorite Features -

• I LOVE the woodcut illustrations - unique and beautiful!
• Includes fun facts on 20 amazing animals and creatures - I have to say I absolutely could do without the one on the spider - although my oldest grand said they find this spider to be interesting. The other 19 creatures are very fun to learn about for sure!

Holiday House says, "Meet nature’s most extraordinary looking creatures. But they aren’t weird!

Birds with blue feet, fish which walk, unicorns in the sea, and more! Learn how these animals' quirks help them survive. Perfect for budding naturalists who are always ready to share a cool (or gross) animal fact.

Very hard scales protect me, and my long tongue is perfect for eating ants. When I feel threatened, I roll myself into a ball. I am a Pangolin.

See these animals’ amazing body parts in vibrant and detailed woodcut illustrations, from the thorny dragon’s spiky skin to the star-nosed mole's twenty-two feelers. Read how these creatures' unique traits help them thrive and survive in their environments. Learn where they live, what they eat, how they protect themselves, and more.

With easy-to-read text vetted by an expert, this book aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards on adaptation, structure, and function for kindergarten through 3rd grade. With supplementary information on each animal’s habitat and diet."

I love learning about unique animals and with the exception of the spider, found all the animals/creatures in this book to be very interesting - you may find a few you have never heard of before!
