It has a lot of information and plenty of pictures to tell facts about them or to give examples to kids. Shows different animals that you don't usually see or hear about so the kids learn new animals or insects.Classroom Extension: Have them tell what their favorite forest animal is. You could also use it for an art subject by drawling what they might see in the forest. Or have a show in tell, they could bring their favorite animal toy in t showoff in class.
