sharks! oh my! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Did you know that there is shark that glows in the dark? I didn't until I read this very informative books on sharks. Lots of species of sharks are discussed and full color photos of sharks are shown! There is even a chart that shows the various body parts of the shark! Open this book and learn more about the shark!


The book does a great job of reporting interesting shark facts. I learned a lot form the book.



Yes we would. The words are simple enough for a primary student to read, and the illustrations justify the reading.

Editorial Review:

Sharks swam in the sea long before dinosaurs roamed the earth. Today there are more than five hundred kinds of sharks in the world. They range in size from the tiny dwarf shark to the huge whale shark. Some of them have thousands of teeth. And some sharks even glow in the dark!

In SHARKS!, TIME For Kids® takes you under the seas to discover the exciting world of these super fish.

A Fine Biography 5 out of 5 stars.

This interesting biography with excellent illustrations and primary source photographs provides facts and fun! An excellent index and table of contents provides easy navigation. The chapters are well-written, beginning with a interest-grabbing first chapter describing Edison's introduction of the electric lights to the public. Historical events and settings build a broad understanding of the lives and times of inventors and builders who paved the way for modern times.

A reader and science together. 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My 8-year-old son read this to me for reading but it just as easily could have been a science book. It had a lot of good information at a fairly easy reading level with great photos of ants. Includes their anatomy, social system, homes, predators and much more. Recommended for grades K-3rd. A Level 2 Time for Kids book.

Time for Kids: Spiders 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book for my first grade classroom. We do a unit of study on the elements of a non-fiction text. The Time for Kids books are wonderful for this unit. They have terrific pictures (which the kids love), and many elements of a non-fiction text, such as labeling, comparisions, captions, glossary, types of print, etc. I would highly recommend this book - really all of the time for kids books - to those looking for appropriate non-fiction books for a first grade classroom. The level 1 and 2 books are most appropriate.

Great Resource 5 out of 5 stars.

This informative book is a great resouce for early learners. We used it for a unit on Spiders and it even has an AR Quiz!

Editorial Review:

From deserts to forests to inside your living room, spiders are everywhere! You can spot the sticky webs that they weave to catch their dinners. Spiders can be many different colors and move in surprising ways. Some roll across the sand. Others walk on water!
