My second grader selects this book from his book order and enjoyed reading it.  He was sharing amazing facts with me as he read it.
A perfect nonfiction book for transitional readers and newly independent readers.
National Geographic, of course, has amazing photographs.
Text features: table of contents, headings, labels, picture captions, vocab. boxes on the page the word is used, diagram, photo glossary, a Mad Lib type story to practice using new vocab. words in  the back.
Strategies: expanding vocab, check for understanding, nonfiction reading
Guided Reading Level: N (3rd grade)
Grade Level Equivalent: 2nd
*Highly recommend.
