Season Science I

A National Literacy Foundation "Highly Recommended" Book. This non-fiction, early reader science book relates a child's experience changing his own coat to the seasonal coat changes animals make. Memorable verse & lifelike watercolor illustrations of children & animals fill the pages of SEASON SCIENCE (TM) 1. A rabbit ("showshoe hare") changes coat colors. A horse ("mustang") sheds its heavy coat for a lighter one. A reindeer ("barren-ground caribou") adds a fat lining to its coat for warmth & grows antlers for air conditioning. There's even a mystery to solve -- the way scientists do -- that leads to the discovery of a link between seasons & the earth's tilt relative to the sun. Included art activities, games & cards reinforce the learning in fun, age appropriate ways.Darneille, Diane D. is the author of 'Season Science I' with ISBN 9780963424617 and ISBN 0963424610.
