These five rhyming stories for kindergarten or first grade will delight young children and help them to master new words. "Busy Bee," "Hummingbird," "Butterfly," "Seasons" and "Little Seed" build on a child's reading vocabulary and each one also carries an environmental message. Young children will enjoy the rhymes and the visual cues will help them master each story more easily. The stories also teach children basic facts about the natural world. To assist parents and teachers, a list of core words can be found at the back of the book, followed by a list of the words in each of the respective stories. Children will soon learn the rhymes, and the stunning photos will encourage further discussion on a range of subjects. "Three First Readers," a very simple reading book by the same author for pre-school or kindergarten, introduces children to some of the words found in this book.
