Welcome to Litsy!

This book has been our favorite library find this week. Julian and I are always excited to read anything about nature, especially if it relates to things we can explore on the farm. The illustrations are beautiful and it includes species that are not as common in children's books (e.g., whirligig beetles). The flow of the words is soothing, as well. We might need to purchase this one for our collection.

This is a great way to get students learning about ecosystems! I think it‘s so cool you can use reading to learn other subjects!

Nonfiction
Bringing to life a secret underwater world! This book helps you discover all that is living and makes up the mountain pond.

The waters a mirror, reflecting the sky.

I love this book because I think it might spark kids interest and make them want to go exploring with their parents. If it was available, it could be an assignment to have parents go out with children and observe what they see all around them.

This book has such a cute story line! It demonstrates a bonding moment between parent and child and the child learning about what‘s under and above the water he‘s on. This would be great when learning about habitats because it discusses wildlife in and around the water.

I love how the idea of an ecosystem—with its flora and fauna, predators and prey—is presented in this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This series is fabulous! I loved the varied perspectives in the illustrations further emphasizing the over and under. Also the extra info in the back is great: explanation of the ecosystem depicted, facts about the animals shown, and suggestions for further reading. Lovely! Toddler enjoyed finding the animals and the boat on each page. #babyreads #science #nature #picturebooks

On the road with my family and I loaded a few books onto my Kindle. This one caught my eye and I was so excited to see illustrations with black people. Can't wait to check it out!
