• I mostly like thus book. It does give a clear picture of the difference between what is living and non-living. I took one star off for occasional excessive wordiness. The other star was taken off, just because I think potential readers of this book ought to be warned that it also talks about dieing. My three year old wasn't happy to find out that baby birds who fall from the nest will never move again and are "dead"
• This is a very nice book that explains what living things are and shows the similarities of animals and plants even though they don't "look" the same. My 3 yo has quickly grasped the idea of what's living and non living in the first 3 pages of the book and by the time we reached half of the book, she can pretty much tell what's living and non living in all of the things I've asked her to identify. Great book! (if you're taking advantage of the free shipping by the way, will take advantage of the 10 day shipping period. Ours EXCEEDED 10 days! This book is just so nice so its well worth the wait!)
• 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.
• 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.
• A great follow up story for talking about living and non-living.
• I teach special education and have found this a simple and concrete way to introduce the topic of living and non-living things. My students enjoyed the book and I would recommend it for teachers and parents.
• Satisfied with my purchase.
• My grandkids love these books!!
