Summary:
Beautiful watercolor illustrations and well-written text present the seasonal migration of birds, insects, bats, butterflies--and seeds. A section titled "More About Migration" contains a map a more detailed information that will stimulate student inquiry.
Teaching Ideas:
The book suggests multiple comparison/contrast activities within or across species using maps, math, and web sites. Many communities sponsor migration celebrations e.g. the return of buzzards to Hinkley, Ohio, or the swallows to Capistrano in the spring. A Seymour Simon text set might interest some science minded students. web sites: www.smm.org/sln/monarchs, www.gorp.com/gorp/activity/birding/fall.htm, north.audubon.org/
