Book Review - Animals in Fall: Preparing for Winter by Martha Rustad

Animals in Fall: Preparing for WinterAnimals in Fall: Preparing for Winter by Martha E. H. Rustad

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Animals in Fall: Preparing for Winter is an upgraded version of Martha Rustad's Animals in Fall. By changing the real-life photos to illustrations and adding more details to the text, this book has been bumped up from a picture book to an easy reader. The illustrations added are colorful and eye catching while not taking away from the text. Added informational text boxes allow for parent participation in reading this book with their children. The child can read the simple text on each of the subjects, while the parent can add the information contained in these text boxes. Adding new animals, information, and even an activity in which children can see what it feels like to have blubber, have boosted this books enjoyment level.
