Summary: A Delightful Book
Review: Christine Lavin's imagination is nicely matched by that of Betsy Feeny and together they bring the magical world of microscopic creatures to life. Many students (and adults for that matter) go through their entire lives without ever seeing the amazing world of protists. Through this fanciful book that world is brought to them in pictures, words, and song (it comes with a CD!). What is more is that science facts are presented in the back completing the link from imagination to reality and teaching kids biology in the process. If you have any interest in science you will LOVE it!

Summary: Clever Lyrics and Beautiful Illustrations
Review: I'm a huge fan of Ms. Lavin's songs, so I was equally delighted to hear that she was going to be in print, rather than just in the "air" now! I received my book today and am THRILLED with it! The illustrations are exactly what I imagined they would look like. And of course, the song is just delightful! I've used this song to open up a science unit before and the kids just love it. Actually, these kids, were 7th grade students! So it appeals to all ages . . . you'll love this book and I do believe that it should be in every science teacher's library!
