This review is from: Welcome to the World of Squirrels (Welcome to the World Series) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my kindergarten students, but it would probably be better suited for 2nd grade. There is a lot of text, and the pictures are a little small, so it is hard to use as a whole class read-aloud. However, with older children, I think it would be great!

3.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to the world of Squirrels!, January 7, 2009
By 
This review is from: Welcome to the World of Squirrels (Welcome to the World Series) (Paperback)
This book is a basic written book geared for Children's reading, and gives you basic facts about nine breeds of North American squirrels. Book has very brief information and some nice photos, but not enough for what I am looking for. I want alot of photos! The book doesn't cover all the breeds of North American squirrels.
