BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO:SOME
Here is the perfect addition for teachers of STEM to younger children. Poems about simple tools! Start a discussion about tools, engineering, experiments, and poetry! These poems add a cross subject dimension to STEM units, plus humor, rhymes, and bright silly illustrations.
"Hungry for Engineering: Poems to Gnaw On" is humorous and factual. Teachers trying to introduce these STEM concepts will find these poems to be a great jumping in point. Humor about failed egg drops and not quite perfect experiments will help children learn it's okay to mess up and try again.
"Hungry for Engineering: Poems to Gnaw On" has animals, dragons, people, and inanimate-but-anthropomorphized objects as characters. The humans vary as to gender, age, and race.
