I always get excited when I see books from
Sylvan Dell, and this package was no exception! I received
Kersplatypus by Susan K. Mitchell and
'Twas the Day Before Zoo Day by Catherine
Ipcizade.
I LOVED
Kersplatypus - it was much the same idea as
Little Skink's Tail - which I also loved - these books are great ways to learn about nature and still enjoy a fun story. This story has a wonderful "
Aussie" flair though with all of the animals being from the land down under! Probably what I love most about Sylvan Dell books is that in each book, there are 3-5 pages in the back that give additional
activities for even more science learning. And if that isn't enough, there are 20-80 page lessons plans available as well. AND I'm still not done - you can go on the i
nternet for web site links that correlate with the story/theme. I am telling you - they treat you right!
The second book, 'Twas the Day Before Zoo Day, was also fun - a take-off on the ever-popular, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. This was a riot to read and kids will love to see all the animals! And again, all of the same teaching tools are available on Sylvan's website and in their books - teachers will LOVE these tools!
