One of my favorite hobbies is I love reading and sharing unique books with the children in our lives . Having a copy of Nature’s Tiny Champions: The Big Book of Little Creatures Doing Mighty Things by Ben Lerwill (Author), Nic Jones (Artist). I was able to do that. Nature’s Tiny Champions: The Big Book of Little Creatures Doing Mighty Things is bigger ie taller than most children’s book. I would having children sit down and laying the book on a flat surface so they can examine the pictures up close.
Charlie liked all the Bees on the cover of Nature’s Tiny Champions: The Big Book of Little Creatures Doing Mighty Things. Children could use the Bees to practice there counting. The Author reminds us we live in a Wild Word. I agree with. Don’t you? In Nature’s Tiny Champions: The Big Book of Little Creatures Doing Mighty Things we see 20 small creatures from all over the World. Doesn’t that sound fun?
Remember these pocket sized Animals are a VITAL part of life of Earth and not only the Animals around them but the Earth we live in and even us humans. Now it’s off to check out the Animals. I wonder what we will see. Don’t you?
I liked learning about the Bee Hummingbird my family hadn’t heard of. Had you? David liked the Reef Sea Star. Then there was the SEED STASHER a SNAKE and if you know me at all you know I don’t do SNAKES of any kind ever. David can have this Snake all to himself and no, he can’t bring it home with him.
We all like Frogs but none of us want to come into contact with Golden Poison Frog. Do you? Charlie said he would like to have a Gopher Tortoise the largest animal in the book and he can give home to 300 small creatures. I don’t want him in my house because no, telling what he might bring with him.
This isn’t all you will see in Nature’s Tiny Champions: The Big Book of Little Creatures Doing Mighty Things but its all I’m going to show you for now. Because I believe you should pick up a copy of the book to share with the children in your lives. But both adults and children can learn about animals in this book.
If you know someone #Homeschooling and there studying animals they should add Tiny Creatures to there reading list. Then take a trip to the Zoo to see if they can see any of the animals in person. Would you like to go to the Zoo with my family?
In the back of Nature’s Tiny Champions: The Big Book of Little Creatures Doing Mighty Things the Author shares a small bit about the animals in one spot which you could use to quiz your students with. Tiny Creatures is for Elementary Students and should be in all school libraries. I hope you take the time to look through the book at al l the fun illustrations and share the story with everyone you know.
