review 1: Target Audience: 3-6Summary: After the last book, #48 A Perfect Time For Pandas, Jack and Annie were curious about animals. They asked questions about many different animals and were given the answers in depth. This book is simply informational about endangered species and provides a variety of animals to pick from, such as: pandas, cranes, bengal tigers, gorillas, and more. Jane Goodall also makes an appearance as well as many hot topics such as poaching. Discussion Questions: 1. After one year, pandas will weigh ____ lbs? If humans weighed that much at one year, how heavy would you be at your age? 2. What is a mock fight and why do the gorillas perform such an event? 3. If you could choose to fund a major donation for one animal listed in this book, which would it be... more and why? 4. What can you do to help save some of these endangered animals?5. Pick one unique characteristic about an animal that you did not already know and discuss it with your neighbors. Osborne, M., & Boyce, N. (2012). Pandas and other endangered species. New York: Random House.
review 2: Don't hate me because I didn't really like this book. I was simply disappointed because it's about Pandas AND Other Endangered Species. When I read a book about pandas, I want to read a book about PANDAS. I don't really mind learning about other animals, especially endangered ones; it's just that since the original MAGIC TREE HOUSE book is ALL about pandas, I was just looking forward to the nonfiction book that was written in conjunction with the original MAGIC TREE HOUSE book to be ALL about pandas. I love pandas so much, I just want to read all I can about them and I was everyone else to love them as much as I do....Other than the fact that this book is about more than just pandas, overall, it's really pretty decent. I honestly don't think Mary Pope Osborne can go wrong with her MAGIC TREE HOUSE series. She's found a rhythm/pattern that seems to work; she might as well stick with it.Besides, it was the MAGIC TREE HOUSE books that really started Samuel on his love for reading. He found that he could zip through them within 3 days, and the next thing I knew, he was WANTING to read.....! Momma's gotta love that! Which means, of course, that the MAGIC TREE HOUSE books are a little special in this house.... less
