The River: A First Discovery Book


The River: A First Discovery Book
Created by Gallimard Jeunesse and Laura Bour
Illustrated by Laura Bour
Informational book 1

This is a great book for younger students. There are not that many words on each page and the illustrations are very detailed. This helps younger readers be able to put the pictures with the words, even if they do not know what the words mean exactly. I loved how in depth they were with the different animals. I also liked how they talked about how the animals live and reproduce.

The illustrations in the book were great. I loved how some of them were half pages that put a different image on each page. This was a great way to show cause and effect! It was really interesting to see how the image changed once you turn the page. The book also talked about taking care of the environment. This was great and I loved that they did it at the end of the book after they showed all of the animals that lived there. This helps put it in perspective that we need to take care of our environment.
