 Very useful September 24, 2006

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.
A primary teacher's "must have" book November 10, 2006

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.
A must-have for elementary science teachers April 5, 2007
C. Castillo (Brooklyn, NY)
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.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I'm pleased with it. The subject matter hasn't totally clicked for my young daughter but it's just a matter of time before we read this book and she truly starts to catch on. I recommend the book, my 2 year old enjoys this one.
Great Book! October 29, 2009

My 2 1/2 year old daughter likes this book. So do I. I had to edit one page about death but it all makes since. I was surprised one day when she told someone that dogs need energy and she proceeded to tell them that they get energy from food, water and the sun. Blew me out of the water! Children are like sponges and they want to know how things work just like we do. These books are great at introducing the facts of life to young children and they can explain it better than I can.
