Would You Rather Be a Tadpole?; Harpercollins, 2011

From the top to the bottom

I think that you’ll see

that this pond here is lively

as lively can be!

Join the Cat in the Hat as he introduces beginning readers to ponds.

This title and others form part of a series of books that takes an off-beat look at nature and natural sciences through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany illustrations. Aimed at early readers – from four to seven year olds – the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept books written for preschoolers and more formal non fiction titles that require fluent reading skills. By presenting the facts in a lively and rhythmic manner, they provide the critical foundation upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be built.
