Curriculum Connections:
\n<\/strong>One suggestion to do while reading this book would be to have a globe handy so that after each page or city is read, you could show the students where that is on the globe.\u00a0 This book has a lot of cross curriculum connections.\u00a0 While the book certainly does a great job taking its readers all over the world and definitely captures the essence of Geography, it also has a scientific focus on the time of day as each page begins with a specific time.\u00a0 In addition, it covers the idea of day and night, where it may be daytime and the sun is shining in one area of the world, but it is nighttime, dark and the moon is out in another area.\u00a0 There is also an ecological element regarding the animal habitats in the various regions that book displays.\u00a0 Based on its short passages and reoccurring reading patterns, this book is geared for a student in K-2nd grades. (VA SOL Geography K.4)<\/p>\n
