BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Hevron follows one Arctic Tern on its migration from North to South Pole and back again.
This reads like a storybook, but the scientific vocabulary and facts keep the book firmly in the non-fiction genre. At the end of the book there is a bibliography and suggested further readings, that I believe will be useful because children will want to know more about the arctic terns after reading this book.
I love this book for making nature fascinating to young children. Hevron uses maps and dates in her illustrations that open up the door for discussions that go beyond the text provided. I love her attempt to recreate the bird calls. This book encompasses the natural world the tern inhabits and shows how amazing these little birds are.
