Faith Hickman Brynie has written a book which supports the National Science Education Standards for K-4. The standard states for:

“Organisms and their environment

Organisms’ patterns of behavior relate directly to the environment (kinds and numbers of other organisms, the availability of food and resources, and physical characteristics of the environment).”  Wildebeest, elephant, spiny lobster, snow goose, caribou, bat, whale, butterfly, salmon, flamingo, jellyfish, zebra, and crab are all given a page to support this standard as to the migration of animals.  The questions most often answered are: what, when, how far, where, and sometimes why.

“… the two different reading levels [are] presented in this book (new reader and fluent reader)…”   on each page of text. First a large font typed paragraph with short sentences is given followed by a smaller typed font paragraph with longer sentences which includes additional information.

Includes: Table of Contents, Index, Glossary, web sites
