I have read some of his texts with my students. I think it’s great that he turned his childhood love of nature and reading into a career: writing scientific/nature picture books for children. In addition to informing students about various scientific topics, the texts can be used for literacy-based instruction as well. Move!, for example, show different ways that animals move. It’s also a really great mentor text for highlighting the use of verbs in writing. (I teach first graders). I have a few books in my home-lending library. Biggest, Strongest, Fastest and Almost Gone: The World’s Rarest Animals are some of my students’ favorites.
