What's Alive? (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1) Reviews

• Very useful

  Living things eat, drink, sleep and grow - a simple explanation with examples that will appeal to most small children (e.g. cats, dogs, birds). Living things also die, and this is touched upon very briefly. I am always looking for books to assist me in homeschooling my 5 yr old son, and it's difficult to find educational books that don't bore or beat a topic into the ground. This was a satisfying choice.

  I am an elementary school librarian and this book addresses one of the basic questions asked by Kinders and First Graders. I bought two for the library and our primary teachers are now ordering their own. Can't lose on this one.

  This book is excellent at explaining and illustrating what is alive. It uses simple language and examples to let young children understand what things are living or non living. The information is age appropriate for elementary school children, but can be modified for younger children.

  One of the better "Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1" series. Although I hate to recommend a book that doesn't really show you what's inside when it advertises "Search Inside."
  
  

• helps explain life to young ones

  I purchased this book because my 3 year old son had lots of questions after our much loved dog died. It did help somewhat. I like that it focuses on the qualifications for what is living versus what is "not alive" (rather than "dead"). And that it does not scare kids (too much focus on the "death" part can be scary for toddlers).
