Summary: |
The 3,000 mile migration of the snow goose from the Artic to New Mexico is told with the aid of rhythm, meter, and beautiful watercolor illustrations. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Map work or math work are possible in tracking the snow geese's path. This book--and the whole concept of migration-- would be a good addition to the study of animal behavior. Learners may want to use information from the Internet to compare this migration with that of the Monarch butterfly: www.smm.org/sln/monarchs/monarchwatch.org and north.audubon.org/. The poetic quality of the language makes it a good read aloud. |
