A fascinating introduction to the many kinds of marsupials, or animals who carry their young in pouches, in North America and Australia. Author includes a glossary, index, bibliography, and suggestions for further reading. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Students could choose a marsupial to investigate in more depth, then develop a presentation for the rest of the class. Students could compare and contrast the 3 different types of mammals. Students can check one or more of the WWW sites listed at the end to find additional information. If a zoo is nearby, invite a guest speaker or take a field trip. |
