review 1: Virginia Readers' ChoiceThis early elementary book describes what 23 different animals do on their first day of their lives. This would be great to use to teach animal/science information to kids. Students could also research what other animals do on the first days of their lives. Or, students could interview their parents and write about what happened on the first day of their lives. They could then compare/contrast that to an animal from the book.Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K-12, 2013 National Science Teachers AssociationSchool Library Journal Book Review Stars, January 2013 CahnersVolunteer State Book Award, 2014-2015; Nominee
review 2: My First Day is a book about many different types of animals and what their first day on earth is like
... more. This is a very informative book and is set on educating its readers about how different animals are cared for when they are born and what type of environment they are born in. Since this is not an actual story with a plot, and characters, it is not necessarily required for the illustrations to tell a story. The illustrations were very vibrant and did a great job of showing the animals and what they did on their first day and giving the reader a visual on what each one looked like. This book is definitely targeted towards younger children, and it goes to show children that almost every other animal on the planet is raised and cared for in a similar way we all were as a baby. It exemplifies the strength of a mother’s love for her child, and that she will always go above and beyond to care for her children regardless of if they are a n animal or a human. less
