How to Make a Mountain: in Just 9 Simple Steps and Only 100 Million Years!

This is a review for the children’s book How to Make a Mountain: in Just 9 Simple Steps and Only 100 Million Years!  written by Amy Huntington which I received a copy of in exchange for this review.

This is one week when I was stumbling over what I would be teaching in Charlie in Science class but the Lord knew my needs before I did. Which is why I was sent an email about the book How to Make a Mountain: in Just 9 Simple Steps and Only 100 Million Years! 

As I read through the introduction I knew this would be a book Charlie and I would enjoy reading. Once the book arrived and I looked at the cover and begin to read the wheels began turning and I found all kinds of Science Lessons I could teach Charlie.

Including drawing and designing our own Mountain in our Art Class. As Charlie read the book, Charlie begin to ask questions which will lead to more research, and we discovered words we can use not only in our Spelling Class but Vocabulary as well.

I don’t want to give you the wrong ideal about How to Make a Mountain: in Just 9 Simple Steps and Only 100 Million Years! which isn’t just a book for Science or Homeschooling but the perfect storybook for children of all ages and even adults especially Teachers and Libraries.

SCIENCE WITH A PLAYFUL, DIY TWIST: This fun and funny nonfiction picture book humorously encourages readers to get busy making their own mountain ranges.
