Genre: nonfiction
Publishing info: The Millbrook Press, 28 pages
Summary: This book has lots of information about worms. It is written in a way that will be enjoyable for young children. The pictures show what earthworms look like tunneling under the ground and what kinds of things happen around the worms. It describes how worms dig and eat dirt as they go stretching out and squeezing. Worms are important because they mix and turn dirt so the plants have soft soil to grow in. The story also tells what worms look like and what they need to survive. The end of the book has two pages full of facts about worms.
Personal rating: ****Great! This story has cute pictures that realistically show what worms do and eat. It is written in language that children can understand and has good information.
Reading level: 2.2
Interest level: K-2
Integration: This book could be used in a science unit about gardens and things that live there. The teacher could have the children do a KWL chart before the unit and talk about what the students know about worms and what they they want to learn about worms. After reading this book they could answer their questions. If they didn't find the answers in this book then they could do research on the internet to find them. The teacher could bring in worms and have the students write about them in their science journals. They could label the different parts of a worm.
The teacher could read A Diary of a Worm and have the students compare/contrast the two books. Then the teacher could have them write their own story about the life of a worm using the information from Wonderful Worms.
The unit could be ended with the teacher bringing in chocolate pudding with oreo cookies and gummie worms stuck in it.
Potential problems: I don't foresee any problems while the students are reading this book.

Are Trees Alive? By Debbie S. Miller
Book Genre: non-fiction
Publishing Info: Scholastic
Awards or honors received: N/A
Summary: This book compares trees to humans. The beginning of the book compares tree roots to feet that help you stand. The trunk of the tree is compared to the body of a person. It is used for support. Then the author compares the branches of a tree to the arms of a human which hold things. Trees can be dark or light, like skin color and the bark of the tree protects it like our skin protects us. The branches and leaves of the tree make a crown on top like the top of our head. Humans breathe with our mouth and nose and a tree breathes through its leaves. Sap traveling through the tree is compared to veins inside a human body transporting blood. The fruit and flowers on a tree are like a smile on a face, that draws people toward you. Seed grow up to be trees just like babies grow up to be adults. Some people grow very old, just like some trees do. Winter is a time for trees to rest, like the night is the time for humans to rest. Then Spring comes and the trees become alive again. The story ends rather suddenly by comparing a picnic to the food that trees provide
Personal rating and reason for rating: *** This story will get your students thinking about how trees and humans are alike. It has some really good information in it.
Reading level: 3.5
Interest level: K-5
Possible uses of the text in integrated units of study (reading and writing across the curriculum): Science - this story could be a great way to introduce living/non-living objects. It could also be used to identify what living things need to survive. Students could participate in a web quest about trees.
Math - Seasons could be discussed with this book as it identifies what the tree does during each season. Students can draw and label a tree during each season. A Venn Diagram could be used to compare and contrast a human and a tree.
Potential Problems or Difficulties: The story just ends very suddenly and you wish there was a better ending.

African Americans and American Indians Fighting in the Revolutionary War by John Micklos Jr.
Book Genre: Non-fiction
Publishing Info: Enslow Publishers Inc. (48 pages)
Awards: None
Summary: As the title suggests, this book discusses aspects of African Americans and Native Americans during the Revolutionary War. It starts by giving the reader basic background into the roles of African Americans and Native Americans and events that led up to the war. The following chapters briefly describe how the two races chose sides and what their roles and conflicts were during the war. The final chapter describes events that took place and effected there lives after the war had ended.
Personal Rating: ***Good. I like the organization of the text. It contains a Table of Contents, an index, glossary, very good illustrations, and a Revolutionary War timeline. Also, there is a section of the book that lists references by chapter. What I especially like about this book is that there is a section called "Future Reading" that lists content area books and websites for expanded studies. However, the book doesn't go very in-depth with information.
Reading Level: 5.2
Interest Level: 5-6
Possible uses in reading and writing across the curriculum: NCSCOS for fifth grade include teaching about the Revolutionary War. This would be a good book to include in a unit for teaching those objectives. The book is too short to use for a book report except maybe for students who are not on grade level. On the other hand, it does mention several people and events that could lead to more in-depth research.
Potential Problems or difficulties: You might have to have a discussion about slavery and racism but by fifth or sixth grade most students are aware of what went on in the past.

Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney
Book Genre: Non-fiction
Publishing Info: Scholastic Inc, 32 pages
Awards or honors received: None
Summary: A young girl describes her place on this world. She starts in her room, showing a picture of her room and then a map she drew of her room. Then she describes her house, showing a picture and a map. She continues in the same pattern with her street, town, state, country, and then finally Earth. Once we are looking at the earth, she zooms back in, finding her place on each map until we are looking at her room, her very own special place on the map.
Personal rating and reason for rating: **** Great! This book is an awesome way to introduce maps, and to explain how each map is related to one another.
Reading level: 1.8
Interest level: K-2
Possible uses of the text in integrated units of study (reading and writing across the curriculum): In social studies, this book would be great to use as an introduction to maps. Have students draw pictures and maps of their room, house or street, and find their very own place on each map.
Potential Problems or Difficulties: This book might not be developmentally appropriate for younger or immature kindergarteners, and even some early first graders. It is a bit abstract and some of the children cannot think or understand the map concept.

The M&M's Counting Book By: Barbara Barbieri McGrath
Book Genre: Non-fiction, Counting book
Publishing Info: Charlesbridge Publishing (32 pages)
Awards and honors received: Teachers' Choice Award, 1994
Summary: This book is a simple counting book I would use with beginning kindergarten students. The M&M counting book encourages children to use M&M candy in specific color order to practice counting from one to twelve. Also, it has the children form the various sets of 12. (six groups of two, three groups of four, four sets of three, etc.) The book wraps up by having the chilren make shapes with their M&M’s and then moves on to simple subtraction of their M&M’s. (Which is the fun part for the children!)
Personal rating and reason for rating: ****Great! I really liked this book for the simple fact that it incorporates food (M&M’s) into teaching basic math skills. In my past experience any time you incorporate any type of food (manipulatives) the children get really excited and the majority of time remember that skill. Not only did this book teach about numbers, but it also had the children recognizing color words. For example, add a red M&M or add an orange M&M. The children are required to know what those colors are before they can participate in the activity. In addition, the author also made a connection between the number 9 and the word nine. (9/nine) I would recommend this book to any kindergarten teacher.
Reading level: 1.9 (first grade, 9th month)
Interest level: K-2
Possible uses of the text in integrated units of study:
Reading/Math: I probably would not read this book during my set reading time. I would incorporate this book into my math lesson. I would use this book the first few weeks of school when assessing students to see how well they know their numbers, colors and one-to-one correspondence. I would have crayons of all the different colors laminated on construction paper. As I read the story students will point to the correct crayon color or number. This will help the students who are lacking with these skills. (I would put the crayons and numbers in a blue chart for all students to see during the reading.) After reading the story and reviewing colors and numbers I would show the students bags of M&M’s and have them make a prediction about what they think we are going to do with the M&M’s. (This will get all the students excited and ready to participate.)
Math: I would give each student a yellow math work mat and a bag of M&M’s. I would then read the story again but this time they would complete the directions on each page of the story. I would conduct this lesson my interactice Mimio so I could model for the students. Be sure to monitor to make sure children understand and are kept on track. (Some students won’t know their colors at this time in the year.)
Potential problems or difficulties: There would be a lot of prep time with this lesson because the book tells the students specific colors to put down so each child’s bag would have to have the same colors and amount of M&M’s. You would also need to make sure students aren’t eating the M&M’s throughout the lesson. Set the rules early on in the lesson so that does not happen. With a little time preparation, this will be a fun and exciting math lesson for the students.

Funny Faces, Wacky Wings and other Silly Big Bird Things by Cynthia L. Copeland and Alexandra P. Lewis
Genre: General Nonfiction
Publishing Info: The Millbrook Press, Inc., 32 pgs.
Summary: This informational book has funny pictures of wacky big birds. Each picture has a description about a big bird, a variety of birds are covered from blue-footed boobies, cranes, spoonbills and penguins. There was even a page describing the extinct Dodo bird. Many of these birds are so big that they can not fly so they have to run or swim. The book is full of words about birds.
Personal Rating: **OK This book has great information, but the pictures don't show the animals natural habitat.
Reading Level: 2.4
Interest Level: K-2
Integration: This book would be great to use for a science unit about birds. It gives a good overview of a lot of birds. It could be used to start a research project and let children pick out a bird to research. This book could start a discussion on all different types of big birds and compare or contrast them with small birds.
In science students can discuss the fact that the Dodo bird is extinct and many of the other birds are endangered.
Potential Problems or Difficulties: I do not see any problems in this book.

My First Book About Animals of the Polar Regions by Gareth Stevens Publishing
Book Genre: Nonfiction
Publishing Information: Gareth Stevens Publishing, 16 pages
Summary: This book is great for young readers wanting to learn more about animals in the polar regions. The pictures show penguins, beluga whales, and many other animals in their natural habitats. The text is easy and accurate for beginning readers. The text does not mention whether the animals live in the north or south pole, but it does have a glossary and index in the back.
Personal Rating: *** Good This book has realistic looking pictures that help young students learn about animals.
Reading Level: 1.8
Interest Level: K-1
Integration: This book fits in perfectly with science. This would be a great non-fiction book to use with guided reading centers when the teacher was doing a unit on polar animals. After reading this book aloud to the students the teacher could assign each child an animal from the book to research and do a project on. The project can be simple or more complicated for children on different grade levels.
This book could be used in social studies to discuss how humans are affecting these animals. One animal in particular is already extinct the mammoth and this book could begin a discussion about extinct animals. Some of the other animals are endangered and students could research that topic as well.
Potential Problems: I see no potential problems with this book the information appears to be correct and pictures are accurate.
