This week I read The Secret Life of Squirrels to grades kindergarten through to grade 3. The younger grades thought it was hilarious and got a lot of laughter. The older grades also loved the pictures and thought it was funny but we had some great conversation as well. The pictures in the book are all photographs that the author has certainly put a great deal of work into. Each photo involves a scene of a squirrel doing every day people tasks such as vacuuming and making the bed. Nancy Rose has created miniature scenes in her backyard and spent countless hours waiting for the squirrels in her backyard to explore them so she can quickly snatch some amazing photos. The kids absolutely loved this book. The Secret Life of Squirrels is a great book to discuss fiction vs. non-fiction.
