Polly ‘Possum
is expecting a new litter of little possums so she is looking
for a new home. Polly visits a number of critters, such as
a spider, robin, a hive of bees, a turtle, mole, beaver, fox,
cave of bats, and a squirrel, before she finds the perfect
place to raise her babies.
As young readers accompany Polly on her search
for a suitable new home, they will learn where all these diurnal
and nocturnal insects, birds and animals live. There are also
four pages of learning activities at the back of the book
that will engage the reader and help further his or her knowledge
of animal living accommodations.
A creative
teacher or parent can use this book to launch a learning unit
on animals and what kind of places they like to live in. You
can expand the unit by looking at why the animals’ traits
often dictate where they live.
